2017 Rugby League World Cup

[Harvies elbow]

This is the worst batch of pommy refs I have seen. Pedantic, nit picking mob of wankers.

From memory this jersey was first worn by Australia post the Blue and Maroon one they started in

Must be some commemorative design. I hate that fake white collar

It's called :
KANGAROOS SPECIAL EVENT JERSEY 2017
CENTENARY GREEN


Don't know why the NRL don't insist on contrasting kits like they do in Soccer

Both Teams have the same coloured shorts 😕

Thanks HM. Not in love with it myself and hope it isn't a bad omen Would much prefer our normal attire

Cant enjoy watching Australia play with cam smith. never have. so boring to watch. plays the role of hooker, five eighth half and doesn't give any one else a chance to do anything. yeah might work but boring as bat ****.

Cannot wait til smith cronk slater retire for good.

Pretty much correct, though there were more gold hoops on that jumper (first used in 1928, 4 years after the decision to go green and gold) than there are on tonight's.

In fact, the blue and maroon jumper we sometimes see these days (such as in the 2008 Centenary Test) was mostly used overseas. When playing in Australia, the Kangaroos would generally wear blue in Sydney and maroon in Brisbane until they settled on the green and gold. I believe the twin chevrons first appeared in 1929 and that jumper has only had minor modifications since, like the tour jumper used by the 1994 Kangaroos.

I think Australia will end up running away with this game, but right now I don't know if its Lebanon playing well or if we're just trying to do a bit too much with the ball and its not always working. Because on paper this Australian team should be leading by at least 30 or 40 right now, but we're only 10 up at half time.

Hopefully Tom keeps staying away from the footy- less chance of an injury

With Herman Munster on the other side and his scum bum brothers feeding him the ball I think that's a given.

To Munster for try, could have been Tom who would have run the same line blindfolded. The Turbos have not had the rub of the green so far this series (luck wise).

I don't mind the commentators, nice change.
Pretty pissweak Mansour getting booed, not nice.
Lebanon water girl, nice.

When i used to play against the lebs, it was about now that the fights would start.

Glad DCE didn't make it, imagine the treatment he would've received.
As has been mentioned by @Simonmyers11 this team takes a bit of work to really go for because of the 'brains trust'.

The balance of power will change though HE, maybe sooner than we think.

Klem makes as many metres backward 'post contact' as he does forward.

 

[EaglesDontTweet]

For all his support play tonight, well done Tom.

 

[ALinda]

So happy for Turbo, woohoo

 

[Holmsey]

Well deserved Tom his defence was outstanding tonight! Just quietly Tom is a much much better fullback than Holmes.

 

[stoodamire]

Yay for Tommy!
