I missed it, but what was the round of applause for?

Movember and raising awareness of mental health etc. Direct opposite of a minute silence.

[Londonbornirishbred]

3.30am NZ....I'm no fan of the royals, but she looks genuinely interested. Like her mother in law!

[Londonbornirishbred]

Bloody football markings?

[Dunbar]

Hill and Burgess showing their value in that set.

[Man of Kent]

Good start. Went through their pack like a hot knife.

In a World Cup quarterfinal

[bratman]

Great start

[hindle xiii]

The more pitches with football markings we see means the further in the competition we have progressed.

[MZH]

Makinson did remarkably well to get an offload away there, could have easily resulted in a try. Early days but we look very very good.

[Dunbar]

We can go through the middle of these.

[marklaspalmas]

McLlorum so slow. One of the few hookers around who couldn't score there with the line open

[bratman]

Wahoo! Too big too strong

[EastLondonMike]

England finding the front constantly. 
great start.

big Tom is in!

[dkw]

 Yes bit Tom, far too easy going through this PNG defence in the middle.

[Alan Robertson]

Great start.

[Davo5]

Impressive start from Burgess.

He's the weak point IMO. It's on him to perform.

[moorside roughyed]

Get in !

[MatthewWoody]

People actually supporting and chanting 

[OMEGA]

Hang on a minute while I catch my breath . . . . . .

England have started at a thousand miles an hour, great feet from Farnworth set the platform for Burgess

Tin pot.

Good start by England. 

[Tex Evans Thigh]

PNG look like rabbits in headlights.
