Bravo Greece and great to see quite a few Greek supporters in the crowd.

I think there are probably more that go and watch Hull KR to be honest.

Oh, sorry, I thought you said geek.

[Futtocks]

It is an achievement just for Greek RL to exist, let alone qualify for the RWC.

And I bet their women's team will be vying for qualification next time too.

Who’s “against” Knowles & why would you want Radley to only play 40 minutes.

You are against Knowles starting, Radley only played 40 Minutes against Samoa bar a few minutes at Hooker.

There was a young man called Ackers 

Who loved eating cream crackers 

He met two men in a shop

Who said they were cops 

But turned out to be computer hackers

Because Radley has been outstanding STARTING in this World Cup,how hard is that to understand

Good game. Enjoyed that a lot. Obviously much tougher challenges ahead, but it's nice sometimes to play an easier opponent, so that you can watch some line breaks and more expansive play. Looking forward to PNG next week.

[Dunbar]

Plenty of boxes ticked for Emgland after the group stages.

- 3 wins

- Loads of confidence running through the team

- 196 points scored

- A complete demolition of Samoa who many tipped to top the group 

- A pretty much injury free squad for the knockout stages

- Plenty of competition for places

It really couldn't have gone much better so far

Don't forget the leathering of Fiji.

Two Southerners scoring for England. Has that ever happened before in the same game?

Which two are they and how many do we have in the squad?

[HawkMan]

Oh Andy Ackers,

So you want to give my daughter smackers,

You may be very cool,

And I'm just a fool,

But touch her and I'll kick you in the kneecaps.

the premise of the humour here is not to mention testicles but swerve the humour in to a sort of triple entendre - never mind

McMeeken and Pearce Paul. Think they're the only 2

Don't forget that Samkins was born in Milton Keynes. Not in the side today, but in the squad.

Job done, nothing to take from that really other than it being a great occasion for Greece. Glad they scored.

Hope Radley’s arm injury isn’t serious.

[Futtocks]

Anyway, let's leave the Radley/Knowles squabble to drone on and on here, and see each other on the Fiji/Scotland thread.

Too complicated for me, Benny Hill rules OK

[hindle xiii]

This young lad at Salford called Ackers

Whose club side are devoid of backers

The ground's owned by Sale

The crowds continued to fail

And Red Willow is going to smack us

Think he has been ok so far.

Knowles is a better all round player but needs to get onto the pitch more to prove it. 

Think Englands best players so far have been - Williams, Young, Hill Burgess.

Good signs though especially if Tomkins hits his best form.
