That was never forward.

[MattSantos]

Gonna bang my drum again but we need another 9.

Regan Grace? I know he is Welsh, but was England-eligible. 

Ex-RU player, returning to his original code.

[GUBRATS]

Not bad , the 10th forward pass gets pulled

McIlorum aside this has been great from England. A dynamic dummy half and this game would be over already.

Done what he's been asked to do keep it tight and distribute, been a good team performance 

[DavidM]

Looking livelier with the offloads and off the cuff play

Agreed.  The question was about high profile League players though. Grace was definitely high profile by Super League standards. 

[dkw]

Need to stop these offloads.

I think Wane was going for aggression against a physical side, but Mickey Mac hasn't really worked out brilliantly so far.

No try, same as the burgess one surely. 

[Roy Haggerty]

I thought that was a try tbh. Hands on the ball as the point hit the ground. 

[Bedford Roughyed]

Seen those given...

[The Hallucinating Goose]

I think he got that down.

Why do people thing Young is off to Union?

Because Rugby Union grounds have better sound systems. 

[Gerrumonside ref]

18-6 HT

Its not over yet!

[The Magic Rat]

Try for me

[Damien]

If that try had been given then 18-12 wouldn't have done England justice at all

[Roy Haggerty]

Thought our middle was looking knackered after 35 minutes. Dropping off tackles and not dealing with offloads. 

[Guest]

Well, will be interesting if that was enough to spark Samoa for the 2nd.

Tea Are Why for me that effort.....

I do think if he celebrates there that is given. I've seen far more dubious ones given

Has Graham got an Aussie tinge to accent.

No

England getting a few gift calls here. 

Try for me. Not to mention offside the play before.

[bratman]

Samoa woke up, great half England though overall.

[Wellsy4HullFC]

Tell you what, if he'd celebrated, they'd have given that!
