What an incredible achievement, making a world cup semi-final. Australia have been tested on the world stage and have risen to the top.

Yes, a great achievement and fairly predictable too. A game against either New Zealand or Fiji awaits. England v Tonga or Samoa will be something else again in the other semi.
Hope you're enjoying the games.
Goal kicking has been fairly poor, even from usually excellent kickers. Same ball, I wonder why?
Soild display from England, beat PNG much more easily than I expected; all over by half-time. But England's next game, against the winner of Samoa and tonga, should be a belter.

Certainly didn't look like a strip. Haven't seen the game, but friends reckon we'll need to lift by a fair bit to stay with the Aussies.

Fortunately it didn't cost anything, but the double movement call at the end of our game was terrible.

I see the overrated Tonga are already gone, what a shock. Have no backs, therefore no points.
Australia are on track. Bare in mind the last game half the squad was sick, they played like it too. They won't carry DCE in a semi anyway, Hunt will be back for that role (he was rested)

As expected really. As long as we break square in the forwards, Australia have better backs and finishers

Hoping for a NZ v Eng final, in both this and the T20 World cups. Shame the Kiwis didn't make the football WC
Kiwis looked pretty poor against Fiji. WIll have to improve massively on that showing to pose any threat to Australia. Very creditable effort from Fiji, though.
Tonga/Samoa was a good contest. Luai and Milford both really stood up, and Samoa the deserved winners. They'll be without Junior Paulo against England, though.

Must've been pretty bad to miss the biggest game in Samoan RL history.

The knee lift looked far more dangerous.

Lol luckily it won’t make a difference but these have been a joke. How JWH only got a week for his was a disgrace

England should win. Probably 26-12 I think.
Not even worthy of a bin.

JWH was contact to the head he’s lucky it wasn’t NRL would have copped 2 matches at least. I hate these incidents RL needs to be serious about the game and cheap shots are not rugby league.
