Fri 4 Nov: RLWC: Australia v Lebanon 19:30

No knock on by Wighton? Glad the other guy dropped it as that would have been very contentious.

Louis Senior (currently) only 3 tries behind The Fox in the top try scorers. Can’t for the life of me work that one out but well done to the lad 

[Farmduck]

Looks like they put Teddy in cotton wool.

Shocking from lebanon there

[bratman]

Lebanon have been rubbish.

[Davo5]

That just about sums up Lebanon tonight.

[DavidM]

They’ve had it all their own way and in defence and attack have just done what they do .  But you do feel if a team can match up to them and give them something back to deal with there are areas there to exploit and previous sides had much more of an aura about them .

Not exactly. In the NRL it works well in practice as well, not just in theory. Your post insinuates it can’t work well in practice.

Fek the NRL, I am watching the World Cup, the insular Aussies can go play their own rules at home and not dump their $h!t3 on us.

Disappointing from Lebanon tonight. Australia have wiped the floor with them without ever having to get out of first gear. I know it can be a cruel game, and its very difficult to compete when you are physically outgunned, but they haven't done themselves justice at all.

[GeordieSaint]

Another Aussie mistake…

… Kiwis will have this lot next week.

[Mark S]

No sympathy at all for Lebanon, they have turned up to ‘put up a fight’. What sort of negative nonsense is that? 

[GeordieSaint]

TRYYYY!!!!

The Captains Challenge are the rules of the international game I’m afraid Padge. If the IRL are going to introduce new laws/protocols, then they need to ensure they can be suitably implemented.

[GeordieSaint]

Lol… Munster mistake for it. Love it! 

[DavidM]

Howler from Munster . Shame

[graveyard johnny]

Mansour has earned a contract at hull kr 

[Sports Prophet]

I think one point of weakness for Australia is Cameron Munster. He has been prone to many, many judgement errors in the closing weeks of the NRL and has bumbled an opportunity to put the ball dead on this occasion.

I don’t think they’ll showboat. I’ll think they’ll run over the top of them.

We don't have rules we have laws, captains challenge is not in the international laws of the game. All the extra bits are protocols added, and added usually because the Aussies won't play unless they get their way. The are an absolute disgrace as a sporting nation who only ever any good at anything by making sure the control the narrative.

You could see in the wheelchair game yesterday they were already breaking the sporting norms of that version of the sport with ridiculous sportsmanship

[GeordieSaint]

Munster is a cretin.

[Tex Evans Thigh]

Not sure I agree with the negativity towards Lebanon. They’ve played ok but ran into a purple patch from Aus at the end of the first half. They’re a decent side and probably better than Fiji, definitely better than France.

Munster is a point of weakness just as much as a strength for any team he plays for. Has a real 'rocks or diamonds' quality about him.
