    Australia showing us just how “overpaid and overrated” Shaun Johnson and his mates were.

    That said, the Fijian players giving away penalties and their right hand defence defending like turnstiles is helping.

    Nothing to do with Fiji playing worse, they're just getting found out by a fully professional team as you'd expect. We should never underestimate just how utterly piss poor that performace from the Kiwis was.

      Brian Smith? Fuck me dead. The Warriors are already experts at failure, why hire the quintessential king of failure.

            Amazing scenes.

            That was very average defence from the scrum though.

              @damo quite alot of average defence so far, particularly from Tonga

                  if this was rugby we would be looking at endless replays of the tackles on Lolohea to see if it was late, if there was a shoulder...instead, ref made a call and got on with things.

                    The Tongans needed that score off the penalised Michael Jennings pass. The poms are playing professional footy the way we should have done

                      Really costly drop there. If England score first it's just about curtains.

                        Tonga have had plenty of chances but nowhere near clinical enough.

                          Again really highlights how unprofessional the Kiwis were compared to Aus and England.

                                      Unbelievable finish to the game, fark me.

                                        England shut up shop in that final quarter and almost paid for it

                                          I'm the first to admit that I don't know much about league, but why didn't they go to the TMO after that last play to check whether the English player stripped the ball from the Tongan player and the following try (or no try)?
