Glad Jennings who i have been putting massive raps on, on here for over a year showed up well. That said he wasnt anything special compared to his performances for Penrith.

The Tonga v Samoa game will be a penalty-athon.

Got to agree with most others on here, the Tonga-Ireland game was the best so far.

If you ask me, the only ones letting this tournament down are the Aussies. The press and the general public over there have been pretty negative towards every other team. I know the Aussies are by far the best team in the World and will no doubt win the comp but, there hasn't been a bad game up to now, (except for the Aus - NZ game perhaps?) and I have been very impressed with the performances of the so called minnows. Hopefully their attitudes will change after seing the games so far.

Now for a very radical idea, I think in some ways it would be better if the Aussies weren't in the comp at all. Sure, it wouldn't make financial sense and it would never happen but, it would be a very exciting World Cup non the less.

Just watched the Ireland and Tonga game.

A couple of the Tongans impressed me,the centre Etuate Uaisele ,and the bullocking 22 year old prop Sam Moa.

it seems that most so called rugby fans have england beat at every game they are gunna play,they have had one bad game same as most ov the "top" superleague teams last season when they played the "beatable castleford"who whupped there ass they obviously had a bad game and so have england but to say they wont beat anybody after scraping through against png is just dumb,ok they were pretty dire in defence and not fantastic in attack but png gave em a good game and that can only wake em up(better do),australia were at best above average against the kiwi`s,on form england can and have beat the auzzZZZzzZZies when they had a decent side....lets get behind our awesome bunch ov players(they are the best the country has got)and beat the living crap out the so called champions.........COME ON ENGLAND


ENGLISH AND PROUD

is that a war cry

.....................

maybe "O/T" but could find another thread.. Are any places like Barracuda with a big screen open on Sunday morning for the Oz game?

Watched the highlights this morning on Indian TV Channel 10, see the word is spreading.
Thought Manu looked as tho' he'd been eating all the pies.
What a gob on that no.6,had he never heard of Ganson,surprised he stayed on the pitch as long as he did.

Read in the Mail last night Caldy might get to play, where are you all watching the game ?

on the tv

Good answer Wolfie , bet your cronies are all wetting themselves at your "humour"

Finally got round to watching the Tonga-Ireland game. Great game but with that sort of poor discipline Tonga would get hammered against one of the top teams. The back chat was ridiculous.

Can't believe he's gone for the same team with the exception of Calderwood. Not fancying our chances now to be honest, was hoping he'd make a few changes.
I'd of gone with something like this

Wellens
Calderwood
Senior
Gleeson
Gardner
Pryce
Burrow
Morely
Higham
Peacock
Langley
Ellis
Purdham
subs, Graham, Fa'asavalu, Roby, Wilkin

Nice to see the addition of Calderwood, he worked really hard towards the end of the season for a call up and its fully justified.

But as many people are thinkinng i hope for the love of god, he doesnt get injured.

Teams:

Australia: Monaghan (Canberra), Inglis (Melbourne), Folau (Melbourne), Tate; Lockyer (Brisbane, capt), Thurston (North Queensland); Civoniceva (Penrith),Slater ( melbourne) Smith (Melbourne), Price, Stewart (Manly), Laffranchi (Gold Coast), Gallen (Cronulla).

Subs: Kite (Manly), Perry (Manly), Tupou (Sydney Roosters), Hunt (Brisbane).

England: P Wellens (St Helens); A Gardner (St Helens), M Gleeson (Warrington), K Senior (Leeds), Marky Caldy (Hull); L Pryce (St Helens), R Burrow (Leeds); J Peacock (Leeds, capt), J Roby (St Helens), J Graham (St Helens), G Hock (Wigan), G Ellis (Leeds), K Sinfield (Leeds).

Subs: D McGuire (Leeds), A Morley (Warrington), M Fa'asavalu (St Helens), J Wilkin (St Helens).

Are Oz giving us a chance naming Slater in the pack?

Anyone know if Boots n All is on this week showing the game highlights?

They would still win

Finished until next season now I think.

He'll be too busy racking up 4 tries:
