That's a good clean sounding of the Last Post.

6 all now. A very physical contest, but France look so quick and dangerous.

Couldn't find this. Was not on the RL page and miles down the sport home page.

Really poor this is not even listed on the Rugby League page when it should be the headline as a link to watching it live.

Google "iPlayer"

Select "Sport"

Alternatively, bookmark this page: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live-guide

It isn't as logically formatted as it used to be - in fact, it has become a mess - but it is still a good way to get directly to streaming video or audio links.

Great crowd in. 

It’s quite shocking the first time you hear a collision. You feel it. 

Anyway, France are a cut above and that bit more organised and, yes, physical. That big number 7 is a bit of a beast.

I'm not one for piling on the BBC typically but this is not great.

But on the game, this French outfit are very good.  If England want to lift the World Cup in 12 months, these are the guys to beat.

You're right, this has been a fiasco across both tests. No match report on the BBC RL page for the first test, either, last time I looked.

The coverage itself - excellent!

Congratulations to France for winning the series, well done to both teams for putting on two fantastic games of RL!

This series feels like a real watershed moment for the wheelchair game, I can only see it going from strength to strength from now on, not one person that has watched these games won't want to see more. This is a brilliant form of the game and I personally just want to see more and more of it!

Two matches of great entertainment. A brilliant comeback by England to get within a single point, but then the World Champions had enough at the death.

France were very, very good in both games and you can see why they are World Champions. England aren't far off but just look a class below at the moment.

The officials seemed a lot keener to find things to call than on Wednesday.

As in the the running game, the play isn`t as fluent and creative when there are too many stoppages.

I hope nobody ever has the bright idea to introduce a VR in Wheelchair RL.
