Had some pictures on the RLEF twitter and a statement that the crowd was over 500.  By the looks of it I would say that's right but 1000 might be pushing it.   Over 500 would be excellent anyway and a great day for Czech RL

Can watch the full game on YouTube 

 A physical game well Reffed by Andrew Pilkinson from Spain. Czechs the bigger more physical side, but Germany the better organized side. Germany should have scored atleast 2 more tries but poor passing let them down. The Czechs battled hard but struggled to create much. The scoreline is a good reflection of the game. Germany's Nr 13 Phil Hunz from the Westfalen Warriors voted Man of the Match.

I enjoyed the game and some of the lads did an impressive performance, e.g. Germany's 13, 1, 6, and 10.

It was a feel-good-atmosphere with beer and food tents. I was surrounded by neutrals that never heard of RL so far. They seemed to like what they saw. I was told that there were some advertisement in Osnabrück (flyers, posters) given that I wonder about the crowd. I'd say there were 250ish people at the game which is a bit disappointing given the importance of the game. The test match against Wales 2years ago drew a lot more.

Anyhow, does anyone know when the winner of that group plays the winner of group C south? Is that in 2018 or 2019?

Germany vs. Czech Republic Match Report

Germany put themselves in pole position for the next phase of 2021 World Cup qualification, with a stunning win over the Czech Republic in Osnabruck, to head the European Championship C – North table.

If they take a point from Norway in Porsgrunn next month, they will face the winners of the Southern section in the next round of WC games.

Bob Doughton, president of German rugby league and co-coach of the national side commented: “It was a very tough, we had to work really hard to break down the Czech’s.”

“There was some impatience in our build up, but we now move on to Norway and it come could down to point’s difference.”

Skipper Brad Billsborough was the star, scoring one try, setting up two others and landing four goals for half his side’s points.

It took 32 minutes for the deadlock to be broken but not before each side had made clear cut chances, Germany spurning three opportunities with the last pass going begging and the visitors twice denied.

On two occasions early on the hosts created an overlap, but right winger Jannek Hagenah couldn’t reel in the scoring ball and, in the 25th minute, he was again given space out wide again but this time the Czech cover came across to bundle him in to touch.

The bigger visiting forwards looked to plough a furrow up the middle but brave German defence held them up.

Just after the half hour, Billsborough’s guile sent full back Ben Dent over for the opening try, Billsborugh goaling and missing with a drop goal attempt in the 37th minute trying to establish a two-score lead.

Billsborough took matters into his own hands five minutes after the break with a delightful try, eluding the first line of Czech defence and showing an outrageous dummy to go over, and landing the extras.

A ball steal in front of their own posts on the hour saw the Czech’s penalised and Billsborough slotted over the goal to make it 14-0 as torrential rain began to fall.

In the greasy conditions, twice the Czech’s spilt the ball coming out of their own 20, prop Connor Hampson plunging over out wide for the Germans as they capitalised.

With ten minutes to go, Oldřich Chrbolka scrambled over in the corner for the visitors to give them hope, Tomáš Řičica wide with the conversion attempt, but Germany sealed a fantastic win when Billsborough’s brilliant cut out pass sent Westfalen Warriors’ George Wood over, Billsborough goaling.

Doughton added: “Brad is 20 and we made him captain because he is a leader and has a mature head to guide the team around the field, but I was also so impressed with Phil Hunz who is only in his second season and filled in for us at loose forward where he has never played before, he was tremendous.”

Czech head coach Ladislav Cintler noted: “The game was very even but Germany made less mistakes than us,” he said. “We are getting better every year but we can improve and play smarter.”

Norway has to win by 15 or more points to overturn the Points difference.

If they win by 13 Germany goes through and if they win by 14 it's tied. Does anyone know what the group tiebreakers even are? Maybe something comes before Difference.

You’d think if the PD is tied then the team scoring the most points would go through. If that’s tied then it would be the head to head result that was the decider.

Looks like the German's heritage contingent in the UK swung it for them, with Billsborough and Dent prominent. I thought Jimmy Keinhorst was going to play in this...............did Leeds not release him or is he injured?

Leeds didnt want him getting injured and had asked Germany not to play him. The likes of Brad Billsborough and Ben Dent are fantastic for the German players, especially at Training. And Germany has never ever paid or covered the Costs of any heritage player. Each pays his own way. This is often the case with many Nations. 14 of the German 17 on Saturday played in the German BundesLeague this year. The Czechs are very physical and a great bunch, but sadly miss an organizer and that was a big difference on Saturday.
