              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)?

                    There will be riots in Otahuhu tonight.

                    @Stargazer The English player didn't play at the ball so it's a loose carry (=knock-on).

                      Bloody hell.

                      I switched over to the Ashes at 20-0. I feel like an ass.

                        I'm 50/50 on whether it was a strip or Fifita just carried the ball loose, but the ref should have gone to the TMO to double check.

                        Australia V England. Prediction: Australia 47 England 6

                          A check would have just seen the same result as it was just a loose carry and the English player was just making a tackle, and the Aussie Islander Indigenous Bogan would have done his nut a few minutes later.

                          Damn, Taumalolo would have been able to carry even the Kidwell coached Kiwis to the final (if Kidwell let him on the field).

                            @sneakdefreak

                            What about using the TMO to check other things then? I remember the ref calling a knock-on at the play-the-ball when it was clear the marker punched the ball out. That happens a lot so I think the officials believe that the onus is on the ball-carrier to hold onto the ball securely.

                              I think the Tongan's got the rough end of the stick with the 50/50 calls in the match.

                                The Kiwiferns are smashing England in the semi-final at the moment. Teuila Fotu-Moala is a human wrecking ball; there's no stopping that woman! Just awesome. Honey Hireme doing her thing again, too.

                                It's 24 - 4 to NZL after 54 minutes.

                                  The Kiwiferns have beaten England 52 to 4 and will play in the Final next weekend. The commentators just said that the Kiwiferns have made every final since the inaugural women's RLWC in 2002. I expect the Aussies to win the other semi, so it should be another trans- Ta$man final.

                                  Honey Hireme scored three tries in this game and is the leading tournament try scorer with 11 tries. Other players who impressed were Fotu-Moala, Maumau and Murray.

                                    So how many big last minute moments has Fifita fucked up this year?
