[NRLandSL]

Some More Welsby Magic, One of the worlds best.

[graveyard johnny]

this series should never have happened - Tonga no better than an exiles side- maybe not even as good

[Ragingbull]

Buzzing for Whitehead what a player he has been. 

[Nothus]

Practically a training session at this point.

I think I'm most impressed this series by how many players we have following breaks, offloads etc it's something we've had problems with over the years but there's 2, 3 and more in and around any chanced.

[MattSantos]

Whitehead has been outstanding for years. An absolute gem of a player.

I thought Tonga were full NRL Superstars who will Destroy the Terribe SL

Lovely pass by Welsby. Smart play by No. 4 to slow down a bit so that Johnstone could catch up and not risk making a forward pass. Composed finishing by England.

[Old Frightful]

Although Johnstone gave himself up there, lovely to see all his team mates sweeping across to cover for him.

All Time Great.

[EagleEyePie]

Great commitment from Smith in defence. Tonga really should have scored but the effort forced them to rush their passes

[Sports Prophet]

The no look pass was unnecessary there. Complete the chain properly and they score

[Phil]

Fat England trainer on the field directing play yet again, it’s ridiculous and needs stopping

Tonga had 2 one the pitch for almost 20 minutes last week, Aussies had one almost defending in their line this morning.  it's pretty standard now, ridiculous its allowed really.

Tonga have gone. Expect England to get another 2 or 3 trys here

[bratman]

Wtf was Hurrell doing there?

[Nothus]

What were those 'punches' from Hurrell there

[Old Frightful]

Stoopid.
