Rugby League World Cup

Very entertaining Tonga v Cook Islands game.
Kitey is on fire, don't think that he has come off in the first half yet.
Hurrell just barged over from 45 out !

Watching Jorge, he should become our next lock, such a strong defender who is wasted on the wing, especially with Blair coming :idea:

Tonga 18-10 at half time 22-16 with Jorge a try

Konrad Hurrell scored a great try for Tonga against the Cook Is, but I am getting tired of his kiss thing.
Instead of celebrating the try with his cobbers, he's looking for the nearest camera.

Maybe he is looking for a contract with souffs

Its for his Mum, he has always done it

lets hope usa can beat scotland so that tonga (kite, taufua) can finish off italy (mini, Guerra).
will be great to see manly boys in action in the quarters.

How good is the crowd at Avignon? 17,000 strong, getting flogged by 40 and still cheering their guts out in the 79th minute.

similar to us diehard eagles supporters at brookie.

Great to see DCE shine and be rewarded with MOM. Wonderful kick chase for his own try and set up a couple too 🙂

Hasson played almost 70 minutes and looks promising too

Did the Irish fans boo him?

No - better sense of occasion than the Rorters 😛

Yet smith avoided him as much as possible. Dce still found a way to shine...out of position, what an amazing talent this guy is

Good to see Smith replaced at half time and not get back on. Love to see Cronk do a hammy before the final...🙂

Though farrah tried to run the show too much and play like an extra half. Not what we needed. Hookers need to know when to be part of show and when to get the ball to the guys that run the show

Hey Dan, if you are in Amsterdam, have you been to any of the RLWC matches yet? Or are you going to?

 

[eagles2win]

Big rumor as a result of how successful the Italian side was we might actually see an Italian side playing in the Super League.
Think they should go via the French Comp (Elite 1 and 2) for a couple of seasons and see if its successful.

I hear Foz got a gig at being Captain of the Kiwis against PNG, did he do well?

 

[clontaago]

Looks as though the dog has been arrested in the UK

He did what was needed, which was minimal as the Kumuls were weak this time.

Silly Billy allegedly

Nah mate, dont have the time or money to get over to the UK yet. Moving here is expensive and the first few months until the 30% tax ruling comes in are a grind

Half time during a great France v Samoa game.

Samoa are headhunting, Masoe had 10 minutes in the bin already - but the French are level and the Crowd is right into it 😀

 

[manlyfan76]

I'm enjoying this game. Good tempo.

If Samoa had Matai and Taufua like they might have been a bigger threat.
