I get that mate but we got there 10 and did the entire centre on foot (breakfast and past midday the pubs).....then walked to Brammal lane......I've been to Sheffield before maybe a decade ago and never seen it so desolate and quiet....on a Saturday!

I posted this in another thread but thought I’d post it here also Looking back at the Samoa vs Greece game none of Samoa’s tries came through structure and they were all made through sheer physic

It is.  But the quarters will be full of intrigue.  Can England continue their run, can New Zealand avenge the 2017 shock against Fifji, can Lebanon give Australia a game and who will win the blockbus

Back to this game, let's hope that it can live up to it's hype and be entertaining with some intensity being what us required by both teams, after watching 4 games this weekend with the winners recording 10, 17, 12 and 13 tries in games  not that far removed from opposed training sessions, only the Scotland game came close to being a contest.

 

EDIT add 16 tries to Tonga on that list, there are simply teams in this format that should not be on the same field, if a free draw was done in the Challenge cup instead of SL clubs coming in at a late stage and these kind of scores were posted there would be screams that the system should be changed, and so should this.

Any chance that developing countries get to play international RL is good,the fact that a decent Cook Islands team didn’t show up today doesn’t alter that.

I do think that developing countries should play international RL and also in a World Cup, but not in this format that they are subjected to hopeless tasks such as they have to take part in complete mismatches.

And that does not just apply to the Cook Islands, did you watch the other games this weekend?

Very tame start from France. Hopefully Samoa will get to 18-0 quickly so when France wake up they will still have time on the clock.

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.

Looks like we've got correct pronunciation for Gigot tonight, but Mourgue's been given an extra accent.
