Lack of angles again getting a try

Full credit to Jamaica for a much improved 2nd half showing,hopefully they can build on this experience & come back stronger for it because that the whole point of an expanded WC surely.

Neither triumph nor disaster. Looks and sounds good enough to me. 

Indeed, decent enough turnout and came across well on TV.

With SH likely to announce a dedicated international window at the end of the season with a pacific cup - NH really need to figure out what they're going to do. Otherwise the gap between the two will just get bigger and bigger. England vs France needs to be yearly at a bare minimum. Was a decent game in the world cup and good chance England wouldn't have NRL players making it even more even. 

Without players from more nations playing at the same level as the England players (or close to it) week in and week out, there isn't much they can do is there?

5,006 in attendance by the sounds of it.

4 ish at a guess 

[Young Blood]

England need to tour Southern Hemisphere every 4 years, plus need NZ/Australia tour UK every 4 years so in between world cups have two tours

A shout out for Ash Golding , he's played in virtually every position , been involved in half the tackles , him and Farrel ran themselves into the ground 

Felt a bit for the Lebanon lads as well , we didn't really applaud them as we should , I suppose today they were the ' villains ' of the piece , next week we'll all be supporting them against the common ' enemy ' , they are a big , fast , strong team well marshalled by a pair of good ( top class in Moses ) half backs 

Just out of interest , would it not be better if we had a West Indies team as we see in cricket ? , A bit controversial I know but would they be stronger , and therefore better equipped to compete ?

Good effort from Jamaica in the 2nd half but some of their first half defence was abysmal.

Saying that, some of Lebanon's play was very good.

Hoping they can give the Aussies a bloody nose in the land of the Giants

That’s a disgusting decision when it went up as a try. He got that down. They really don’t want the Ireland debacle to bite them in the rear.

I was sat right behind the incident, defo held up for me.

Yes , if you’re lucky . If you’re unlucky , worse than this … this is some of my best work . It’s compulsory , in fact it’s the 11th commandment
