Whem is this on

 

12:30am on Fox League tonight/tomorrow morning.

 

No Sam Burgess? I reckon England will still be too strong at home.

 

Good first half

 

Who won?

 

Only saw the last 10 minutes

Poms 18 - 16

 

Any good? Well the last 10?

 

Not bad, kiwis made a nice break from taupau 10 out from their line but Johnson butchered any momentum gained or chances they had through poor last tackle options, the guy just isn't a big game player

 

The Kiwi's we're robbed, no way that was a penalty try to the Poms. Shaun Johnson held him up and DWZ played no part in stopping that try when he came in with the knee. It should have been a penalty only.

 

Officials in England interpret the rules differently..

 

I'll probably come off bitter but I watched the entire game and that ref was so one eyed it wasn't funny.

The video ref wasn't much better. Penalty try LOL, what a joke.

I'll put it in a way that people who don't give a rats about either team can relate, it was like watching a Dog's game with horse face as the ref.

 

Agreed. Penalty and a sin bin.

They need NZ to win to make it 1-1 so Gerard Sutton has been brought in as ref.

 

Just makes sense to have a neutral ref anyway.

 

Kidding themselves with Tomkins at 7... I have always liked Lomax, clearly a talented player but always seemed to be overwhelmed in the big test matches, NRL would do wonders for him

 

Watched it in fast forward, but no complaints this time. England to good at home.

 

What about makinsons last try? Lol you think he held that or knocked on?

Also the eye gouge from Gurgess.

Not being smart would like to hear other opinions, I think that try wasn't l a try and a knock on, also that eye gouge should've be a penalty again I couldn't careless who won but,
Gee whiz what a snooze fest.

 

I didn't see the eye gouge until now. Yeah should have banned or sent off pretty grubby.



Kiwis made to many errors.
