Closer than people think 

I'm inclined to agree. I think Fiji will be very competitive for at least 60 minutes if not the whole 80.

I'm having to watch this one on my tablet because Mrs. Goose is insisting on watching Strictly and the little tele upstairs is knackered. Don't matter though, just want to watch another great game of RL after that treat earlier!

[gingerjon]

Again, credit to the BBC for some really good coverage pre game.

[gingerjon]

Bet365 give Australia a 42 point start

[Tosh]

Hope I’m wrong but starting to fear the worst for Fiji.

[DavidM]

That little lad saying to Kikau ‘ my dad says you’re rubbish … that’s him sitting there ‘

[Futtocks]

I wonder how Latrell Mitchell's going to make tonight's match all about himself as usual?

Score a hattrick , do some play acting , do a cheap shot and get sin binned

Thought they could have had a singer for the national anthems

Very low key 

[JimBronco]

Anthems being sung without lead singers?

[bratman]

Can actually hear the crowd though on TV, sounded really muffled for England.

[Niels]

For me it's great seeing Australia again. It's like the football world cup when Brasil have their first game. 

[GUBRATS]

Come on the Bati

Different stadium, different setup - this sounds much better.

It was like a library in the ground for much of the match...

Yeah, I usually want Brazil to lose as well!

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Oh Christ, Kendell. 

[Chanter]

Come on Fiji!

[Jughead]

Always great to see those green and gold shirts on these shores. A shame we don’t see enough of them but that sight is rugby league heritage.

A good point.

[GUBRATS]

The Aussies starting as they usually do 

Offside 

[Mark S]

Giving a penalty against Aus is the best way to guarantee you won’t be referring the final. 

[Gerrumonside ref]

Get in!

[JimBronco]

Oh that's a try
