4 games in and my first really poor seat of the tournament, back row in the corner so can't even see the screen.

Suspect there will be an empty one I'll be able to move to come kick off though!

This is embarrassing for the sport there  are NO excuses how many tonight 2000?

Did Dave Woods say this was a big crowd?! Compared to what? Leigh East under 9’s?

He said 'good' crowd, but I think he means, 'better than the pitiful crowd we expected'. Looks like about 5k.

What has amused the kid mascots?

Best two anthems of the competition so far.

Someone told a joke which combined garden decking and trains.

Yeah, I thought the Cook Islands one was very pleasant and relaxing.

I'm not sure but they made me laugh out loud 

[Black Country Wire]

Cook Islands anthem sounds like one of the ballads Norway sometimes puts in Eurovision.

Kayal Iro is 22, his Dad was at Saints until 2001. Is there any chance he was born in St Helens?

Rhythmic, unison, good choreography, well rehearsed.

Seven!

Why is the CI #10 wearing a different shirt to the rest?!

[Black Country Wire]

Do we really need to have a random burst of music on EVERY single break in play? Even if it's a 3 second hand over.

Had it at Doncaster as well and is just unnecessary.

Maybe he was commentating on their behaviour? They've been good.

Sunday League Football stuff.

They're just showing off that they've got a better sound system than a Premier League ground.

Wales have been excellent in this opening 10. Real team effort.

[JimBronco]

Impressed so far with Wales. 

[Jughead]

Anthony Walker is massive.
