19 Nov: RLWC2017 Q/F: England v Papua New Guinea - Match Thread

[Guest]

What a great open game so far. Crowd not as bad as first feared.

[Man of Kent]

England knocking on the door loudly 

[Sports Prophet]

Hope he has a few spare whistles

[Man of Kent]

Jerry!

[Forestgravy]

King Jezza of 'Uddersfield strikes again

[snapski]

Great try

[Gray1967]

Get in :-)

[GeordieSaint]

Get in lads!!! Fantastic hands.

[Man of Kent]

Had a feeling of inevitability about it, that 

[GeordieSaint]

Playing with lots of pace in attack - great to see. Genuinely enjoyable to watch when we play like this.

[Cumbrian Fanatic]

Walk in for JG. 

I think if England are patient and control the build up the wingers can get a few each here

 

[Sco77]

Beautifully worked try! More please!

[EastLondonMike]

Get in Jerry!

its early I know but we're still not respecting possession.

Seems like we're only committing two in the tackle also, and both going high. PNG leg drive giving them extra yards.

As per usual, not clinical enough but definitely good to watch.

Hodgson wind your neck in a bit lad

[GeordieSaint]

Millward getting stuck into Hodgson... he’s right IMO.

[Man of Kent]

Widdop looking distinctly iffy under the high ball

Another great kick by the kumuls

[Forestgravy]

right scrappy game this. Time going quick

[Man of Kent]

As suspected, PNG have lacked that bit of quality to really hurt us so far 

[GeordieSaint]

Good defence again by us. PNG tactics pretty clear already:

1. Bomb Widdop 

2. Isolate Bateman 

[Old Frightful]

Getting fed up of Child's whistle already so I'm sure the PNG lot are as well.

[GeordieSaint]

Brilliant passing...!!!

[Man of Kent]

Jerry!
