40-0 half time. 80-0 full time is very satisfying

If/when the Aussies get to the final , they’ll demand an Aussie referee.

I’m sure I read a stat that the last 20 games that they’ve played against the Kiwis ( that’s when they can be bothered to play them ) 17 of the games have been reffed by an Aussie .

Let’s face it , they need all the help they can get , don’t they

That's because the Kiwis got in bed with the Aussies to play in the NRL and neglected their own development of officials and coaches.

Henry Perrenara has been the only NZ referee available over the last 10/15 years.

[DavidM]

They put a replay on during the actual move

Difference is the union teams are actual locals not Aussie and English rejects

You sure? Check out the team list for a Netherlands side that England hammered 100+ a few years back. Full of South Africans

[Dunbar]

I can't wait to see this lot get beat.

They could always bring Cameron Smith out of retirement to ref the game like old times

There are 20 current Scotland RU internationals who were not born in Scotland. They tend to be South African and English rejects rather than Aussie rejects though.

Whos Neil Horton

[Ullman]

Oh that was just brilliant.

I don't think we should ban RL teams. 

Dont we frown on stuff like that in Rugby League with the history we have had? 

No we shouldn't.

But we should ban Jonathan Davies from the commentary box.

Seconded. 

[andyscoot]

That's a beauty of a try.

[Dave T]

I think the BBC and its commentary team have presented this really well for what is an exhibition game. 

[Dave T]

Taking the pee. Knocking on with 30s to go. 

[Just Browny]

Not sure he put it down, mind.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

FFS, can someone mute Jonathan Davis' microphone please? Him spunking himself over ever little thing is like fingers on a blackboard.

They used to have a pipeline of Kiwis.

It is actually quite a feat of deliberate deception how the SRU and the broadcasters make sure that only Scottish accents tend to go near the microphones.
