Whatever the criticism of the ref, better get used to it. England MUST tidy up their play around the PTB or they'll get penalised mercilessly in the next rounds.

The "Dark Ages" is a term referring to life at the RFL under the new regime. It's characterized by a decline in openness, professionalism, transparency and  achievements,

It's just under half the squad born in Wales - 9 or 10 players I think. 

How good. Be great to Wales get back to consistent competition for England.

Also Tonga lucky to get away with some cheap shots on Fozzard near their own line.

KK shoved him twice in the head for nowt , then shoved someone else forcefully in the mush and they just get to play the ball . I like Kasey but she’s been a bit kind to the players she knows

Forward pass, and it was never six again, the Tongan was just slow getting up!

Was the six again for the Tongan player getting up slowly the Welsh player was nowhere near him.

Nah. Nothing more than a push. It's rugby league mate. 

And honestly, this narrative of Aus refs purposefully favouring people they know is tin hat stuff.

There's always a bit of swings and roundabouts in ref's decisions.  I think if the ref had gone to the screen on the Wales try, they will have spotted a Wales knock on in the tackle.  Pleased the ref just awarded the try though.

Watch the France v Lebanon match from 2017. It was laughable.

Watch a match from 5 years ago to prove your theory? Yeah I'll be right. Not saying refs don't have bad games that can favour one side over another. But the idea there is some conspiracy (conscious or unconscious) is simply delusional.

Or Klein 2006.

Rugby Union the only game in the world were the spectators handle the ball more than the players.

You sound like Dave Hadfield in c.2004.

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Or alternatively find a game where a British ref has favoured Eng/GB v Aussies.
