Sat 5th Nov: RLWC: England v Papua New Guinea KO 14:30

[The Phantom Horseman]

I think PNG will be upset here in that it sounded like the whistle blew before the try was scored.

[Alan Robertson]

What the ..... was Liam Moore doing there?

[Archie Gordon]

Shocking. Scored after the whistle.

[Midlands hobo]

That is a shocker by the ref I swear he blew while the ball was still airborne 

[Spidey]

Referee with a mare there

[DavidM]

I think Moore knew he got that wrong , he presumed Johnston would catch it 

[Spidey]

Play till after the whistle

Cannot be a try because he blew his whistle.

That's where a captains challenge muddies the waters a bit.

[Desert Skipper]

Blew his whistle too early. But since he blew it before they touched down it surely can’t be a try? As players play to the whistle?!

[bratman]

That's bit harsh on PNG though, the whistle had gone then we played on to score. Think should have been a drop out.

[DavidM]

Are we any worse than Australia ? I don’t think so 

[Archie Gordon]

Moore wrong. Video ref even wronger.

[Tex Evans Thigh]

Can’t believe the ref didn’t give that. Trying to give PNG a break?

Yeah. It should have been a dropout really as play had stopped 

[LongbridgeH]

There’s one of PNGs NRL players…..

[OMEGA]

Well Alex Johnstone is arguably the best winger in the NRL and he just wilted under the England pressure

Yep

[Dunbar]

I think we are going to win this.

[League of the South]

I’m 58 years old, struggling to remember a better first 25 minutes from any England or GB team in my long time of watching.

Don’t say it too loudly just yet, but could it be ‘our time’ ?

Very excited for my trip to the Emirates next Saturday, and slightly envious of those in the stadium today......

[Man of Kent]

Don’t assume - it makes an ass of u and Liam Moore.

[MattSantos]

I think Welsby was too involved after the knock on. Would have been happy wi a drop out 

[Desert Skipper]

Good job this didn’t happen with the scores locked on 80 mins.
