Biggest defeat in the Kangaroos history. Wow.

Sounds like this is on the NZRL

Is there an anticipated crowd? Looking at the seats available; it looks absolutely dire. Maybe a few thounand?

It literally does not matter in the slightest.

Paywalled article in the Daily Telegraph in Sydney, but looks like Staggs has opted to play for Australia over Tonga, and Fiji have had a host of stars pull out.

First try Australia have conceded in a Final, since the 2008 Final.

Game!

Samoa really struggling without a proper 9. Not sure how they go over.

Could be in trouble here?

That was never on. Samoa needed to try and build something looking like pressure.

Phew

Can Samoa get to halftime and not concede?

Classic Milford

Well, maybe 17min for the floodgates is okay.

Yep, were on the back foot ever since Luai’s kick was taken in goal. Cant get those wrong.

Pretty skeptical of the Samoa/Tonga matches being played in respective countries. Last time Samoa played at home was in 2016 against Fiji? And that was a commemorative match for 30th anniversary of league in Samoa. Wonder who bank rolls those Tests? NZ not playing Tonga/Samoa would be a shame, likewise Australia. Sounds like nothing planned for Northern Hemisphere teams.

Did Knowles just kick on the last?

That was an awful set, and England continue to look non-threatening.

Poor effort from Young

What were those last two Kiwi sets? Kick and pray?

SURELY NOT

In Australia’s half!!!

Not sure NZ can even get into Australia’s half.

NZ own worst enemy the last 20min. Too much drop ball, given way too much to Australia.

Better from NZ now
