    Anyone watching Tonga v PNG?

    How the fuck wasn’t that a penalty try and sin bin on the PNG attack?

      Yep, watching and agree.
      So many neck rolls and head highs you can't help thinking the spotlight should be on league rather than union.
      Also the intercepts. PNG with all the hustle and when spreading the ball wide look dangerous down that left flank, but Tonga's muscle and sheer power should see them pull away this half.

        PNG have blown one chance and had two denied

        Tonga committing fouls on the last pass and the tackle

        Reffing / League rules are fucking shit

              Amazing last try. 71 passes and 4 bounce-passes.

                  Tonga definitely a Tier 1 team in the eyes of the officials - all the 50/50 calls going their way.

                  But was a fun match to watch.

                    PNG a little screwed by the refs.

                    Sheesh hasn’t Lolohea packed it on and still playing halfback.

                        Deserved hard fought 18-12 win for the Cooks over Wales. Fitness levels and speed of ruck ball told in the last quarter. Tonga look out!

                          Great defending and heart from Wales, but second best in the second half

                          Could have nicked it but not to be

                          Wales captain was in the same class in school as Sam Warburton and Gareth Bale

                          3 national captains!

                            That’s quite something. Kear is a decent fullback. Not the biggest player going around, but is pretty fearless.

                                    For some reason my brain has lost the ability to comprehend when games are being played at this RLWC. Last week I got up on Sunday to watch the Kiwis and they were on Monday. Today I flicked on Kayo to see what games were on overnight and the Kiwis had played.

                                    Another training run, this time against Jamaica. Final score 68 - 6.

                                      Crowds have actually been very good. The last world cup only averaged 13,000 per game and that featured games in three countries and blockbuster pool games.

                                      I just haven't engaged much with this tournament because I am not going to get SparkSport just to watch. Plus, the pool games are predictable. In 2017, we lost to Tonga in the pool game.

                                          Think if RL wants to grow its showpiece event, it needs more regular Test matches rather than just NRL and SL.

                                          These 60+ margins aren't much fun and only one pool looks like it'll be competitive.
