Keen to see how Funa plays - will have some power players to support in Taumo, Pengai Jnr and Fifita....this Tonga side could go alright

Can't see Jorge in the Samoa colours but Chez and Gazza are in the Roos 🙂


Wonder why Marty and AFB were not selected :think:

I do like the 20:40 kick rule.

I think attacking kicks/options are a great way to change the monotony of a game. imagine if DCE kicked a 20:40 on the third tackle? Forces the wingers to hang back in defence.... which then opens the field for attack

I like it
 
Does anyone know if this is on watchnrl? For overseas viewers?

I believe so.

I couldn't find it going through what is the most obvious section, ie "Upcoming matches" BUT if you click on the 'shows' tab then scroll right, the links will appear. Day 1 and Day 2!

woot
 
So is anyone going to watch this or just tune in for the finals part??

I couldn’t see myself watching hours of it but will certainly switch on tonight for a bit to see how it starts off.

It's a long time until the season starts again so I'll be watching. I'm also expecting the top teams (at least Aus and NZ) not to take it too seriously and the format to open things up for some of the less expected countries (Come on Wales at $81!).
Should also be a good opportunity to spot some future NRL speedsters:
