Absolutely

How is Jack Brown not M. O.M.? Couldn’t have won without him.

[Bolton Leyther]

That was absolutely brilliant.

A great contest, great drama, great skills, great heart.

Well done, England!

[Exiled Wiganer]

I seem to have some grit in my lenses. 10 legends. The greatest game. What a finish, what a game, what a sport.

3 test series with France annually on BBC prime time.

2 games here, 1 there and then rotate each year.

A new SOO.

The PDRL win hasn't been talked about or shouted loud enough for me. 

This is marvellous though. Well done England.

Bit weird BBC isn’t showing the interview with the coach

[Padge]

What a birthday present, thank you lads

[gazza77]

I'm a Fev fan, and whilst I always want us to win, I'm really there for the entertainment. We don't always get that. 

The last 80 minutes have been fantastic entertainment. Well done both teams, and fantastic for England.

LMFAO at the Ref getting his medal.

[Chrispmartha]

French ref is getting a right good English booing

That linesman is actually properly gutted

Five of the top trends in the UK about this game.

And deservedly so, that was as entertaining as it gets.

It was, to be fair, a non-official tournament, cobbled together in a bit of a hurry. But England are the champions, and however big PDRL gets, they have their place in history.

I agree he but obviously he won't be worrying about that. 

[JonM]

M. Abrial is the defence referee, not the touch judge.

Was it not just tagged on by the PDRL and not officially part of the competition.

We need to shout from the roof tops

What’s the deal with the French coach saying the English didn’t focus on disabled players and went for spectacle and a show?

Does it operate differently in France?

I guess the sport is young and rules will adapt as issues arise.
