They need to turn him down a bit for TV.

I am more annoyed with missing multiple plays because we had to see a huge full screen image of the coaches for 10 seconds.

I wish the BBC would stop my view of these guys in the stand by cutting away to people running around in shorts.

Tevaga went to wrap the right arm.

A bit late; penalty sufficient.

A bit late?

Not sure why Ashton didnt compete for that.

That was a nice heads up play by Williams there. 

Ashton was just too hestitant to get to the ball first, but great work by the Samoan player to ground it.

Somebody put Kendal on mute please

He was waiting for the ball to bounce over the line so he could just ground it, rather than picking it up before grounding IMO.

[bobbruce]

Ashton has to attack that ball.

Sounds like they have given him a megaphone

[StandOffHalf]

Kendall should be at home tucked up in a blanket and with a cup of soup and lozenges.

I think I can even hear his thoughts.

[Gerrumonside ref]

Nice drive through the Samoan line 

[Futtocks]

Newman's looking lively already.

I felt if he competed for it then there's much more chance the ball isn't grounded by the Samoan.

[johnh1]

Yes. Strange how you can hear Kendall over 17000 spectators. Either turn their noise up or Kendall’s down.

Great to see Nsemba keeping his club form at this level.

Looks like a player with a point to prove doesn't he.

Ref's mic is way too loud compared to the crowd.

I thought that. He has the quality to pick that up and score. MUST take those chances next year.

I agree 100%. He just hesitated with the thought of just putting the ball down which let the Samoan player get to the ball.

BBC always does that. Always. You can tell the difference when compared to SKY games.
