FT:  17 - 17

Now it goes to extra time and Golden Try

Woke up for a pee and just watched it back. That must rank as one of England’s worst ever results. 

Lebanon had a 17yo kid who missed yesterday’s game vs. France to sit his A-Levels! Embarrassing.

Robert Jennings gets the winning try

Just woke up and saw the England score, still making sure I'm actually definitely awake and not just dreaming that. I'm getting up to watch, 4 hours of sleep will do.

No, you didn’t dream it. Lebanon played out their skins and England were playing four drives and a kick.

Our lack of 9s experience was exposed, in tactics and selection.

PNG giving NZ a great game

Great dummy flick pass by PNG for the try.

What’s great is that 9s appears to be a great equaliser for some traditionally lower level nations...

The ability of referees to make the right call without video is really being shown up today.

[Abicus]

ITS HAPPENING

[The Hallucinating Goose]

USA! USA! 

[Abicus]

USA !!!!

[Farmduck]

Is Australia deliberately trying to get all the mistakes out of their system?

[Copa]

Fantastic!

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Did they miss the kick from right in front of the posts? 

[Abicus]

Was fun for a bit there

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Oh well.......

Just announced that Lebanon played two players under age of 18. IRL elected not to disqualify the win against England.

[andyscoot]

So Lebanon field ineligible players and it's "no worries"?

Not the England deserved to win but that seems bizarre.
