2017 Rugby League World Cup

Wow. Holmes 5 tries 2 weeks in a row.

And again, Vunivalu's lack of defence costs Fiji a try.

Has anyone ever scored 5 tries in consecutive tests? I've never heard of that happening even in club football.

And there is still 10 mins to go

Brett Mullins scored 4 tries in consecutive games against Souffs and Newcastle in 1994, but 5 in consecutive games, and tests to boot.....wow.

I'll have to check but I think the last time any Australian player scored 5 tries in a single match (top grade or rep game) was Andrew Ettingshausen for Cronulla against Souffs at Endeavour in late 1994.

 

[HoldenV8]

Um......holy crap Batman!!!!

 

[Clint]

Wow. Holmes

 

[HoldenV8]

Holmes has done enough this tournament.....Mal should drop him and play Tommy in the Final

 

[master blaster]

Make that 6

How do they market this as an actual competition because it's not.

The only way this could be interesting if Australia played a Rest of the World side!

As i said to a mate before start. Needs to be less made of size of event. Focus should be test footy with poms and kiwis. This is not a contest and not good for code.
Kiwis nees there best yes not having blokes decide a tonga or samoa jumper looks good in waredrobe. Poms need more games v both kiwis and aussies.
Sorry but australia has no competition as they played england ans not even kiwis.
Imo code not in postion to pretend we are rugby union
Bring back lions tours along with aussies and kiwis. That our history, holmes would never score 10 v games poms and kiwis (yes there weak get bromwich, proctor, foran, tamuelo back in fold).
This event not a contest

Australia will put 40+ on Fiji next game

Looks like I underestimated Australia @Harry Smith and @HoldenV8 lmao, Fiji were rubbish

They crumbled as soon as the going got tough. Much weaker side mentally than I thought, guess there really was no chance they were beating Australia

I must say, our boys (Manly) were good

Fiji were actually doing ok in the first 10-15 minutes. Then Hayne started giving away stupid penalties that put them on the back foot and Vunivalu's defence was exposed for the fraud that it is.

I thought Aku, Kevin Naiqama and the second rower Viliame Kikau were Fiji's best tonight.

Heard he tripped over a stationery stool leaving the pub last night.

Nate must've made a visit.

Uate was one of the best out of both sides, on fire

 

[HoldenV8]

And I thought the Kangaroos were dominant. The Jillaroos scored what...18 tries in this game against Canada currently being shown on 7mate.

 

[BOZO]

Wow. Holmes

SPEED KILLS !!!

These Female players are amazing. Three day turnarounds without a single complaint.

Three days!!

Who isn't used to a woman complaining about something or other at least once every 3hours.

Toughen up girls..
