England v Fiji (RLWC warm up game) - Match thread

[jacksy]

Couldn't we have got a neutral referee.

[Charlie RL]

Honestly why talk about car parking charges?  It's a decent match.

Ryan Hall looking so far off the pace - it's genuinely not nice to watch. He's been great for England historically but how he's still deemed to be one of our top wingers is quite shocking.

[EastLondonMike]

Is the cameraman trying to find someone in the crowd?

[hunsletgreenandgold]

Young on the other hand* - incredible.

Handley should gave been in there IMO

[The Hallucinating Goose]

So many set restarts being given. 

[Tommygilf]

The Anglo-Jamaican edge doing well

[MattSantos]

What side does Makinson play usually?

Presume he'll be replacing Hall.

[EastLondonMike]

Good stuff.

[hunsletgreenandgold]

Feel like Welsby's link up play isn't getting enough recognition in these tries - doing great!

Dom Young looks better in this than any stunt I've seen him for the Knights

Was going to post the same, I hope he gets the full back spot it’s easily his best position!

Were playing well, just not sure how to guage Fiji

Seems very strange to say this, but Williams is having a good game.

Why are Mike Cooper and Ryan Hall playing we have miles better.

[Old Frightful]

Dominic Young ain't doing so bad.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

This is just sexy rugby league from Dom Young! That's the only word to use. Sexy!

Right....get Young off ...protect him

That side's been doing more defending, while the Watkins/Young side have had the breaks.

[DoubleD]

It’s a real shame all the ball is going to Dom Young’s wing, I was looking forward to seeing Ryan Hall flying down the wing, scoring length of the field tries

Got a decent team around him for a change

Fiji looking really poor, disappointingly one sided, but nice to see England playing well
