Then out of nothing.

Tonga look gone, no energy and no inspiration! David Fifita has been on for about 20 minutes and done absolutely nothing, can’t remember him taking a carry

New Zealand first Try came from a poorer decision IMO, the ball was stripped backwards by NZ and not knocked on by PNG. New Zealand scored from the resulting scrum and got themselves back in the game at a point where Fiji were still in the ascendancy. Had Fiji gone 18-0 I think they’d have won the game but that poor decision helped reduce the deficit and brought NZ back into the match

Well they do say that if you play Rugby League for long enough you’ll end up in the front row Nigel Bell started as a winger, made his debut as a scrum half but ended his career at prop. Then there’s the best centre ever to play the game who spent his last few years as a prop

Can’t select the Silkhtails as they play in an England kit so have surely opted for the Mother Country

Is Micheal McGuire alright he looks on the verge of a cardiac event

This will leave a sour taste in the mouth

Here we go, first half NZ got the benefit of this decision and scored let’s see if Fiji get the same interpretation

Put the pressure back on NZ with a drop goal

Ronaldo & Manu have been NZs only threat

Have NZ been found out or are they just having a mare?

Fiji 12 Vs 6 New Zealand at HT just my opinion but the Kiwi try came off a poor decision by the Ref, Tje ball wasn’t knocked on by Fiji it was knocked out backwards by New Zealand then the Kiwis knocked on. It should have been a scrum to Fiji but instead New Zealand got the feed and scored their Try. Half Time score line should be 12 - 0

That’s not a knock on by Fiji, it was knocked out backwards by New Zealand! The subsequent knock on by NZ should have stood resulting in a Fiji scrum

I wouldn’t have argued if Burgess was given the Man of the Match award but he wasn’t on his own in that first 30 minutes. Chris Hill and Dom Young made huge metres through the middle as well

Except they didn’t do that against Lebanon who are streets behind PNG

A few dangers here now We can’t afford to get sloppy because it’s an attitude that can transfer into the next game We need to maintain discipline because we don’t want to risk a suspension to one or more players We need to find a balance between giving game time to key players and taking them off to protect them from possible injuries Finally, we don’t want to be highlighting any areas of weakness that Australia, Tonga or New Zealand can identify

Let’s remember we lost Alex Walmsley just before the World Cup, I hate to think what it would be like for PNG if Walmsley came off the bench on the 25 minute mark

Olam bloody autocorrect

Loam is another NRL player who’s getting burned by the England pressure

If there had been a PNG player anywhere near I might agree with you but there wasn’t so the whistle made no difference

Well Alex Johnstone is arguably the best winger in the NRL and he just wilted under the England pressure

Hang on a minute while I catch my breath . . . . . . England have started at a thousand miles an hour, great feet from Farnworth set the platform for Burgess

Wayne Bennett school of charm

Coming along

Lebanon need to score the first 5 try’s after the break or this games over
