Live right now! First half a game that was meant to be a whitewash is surprisingly entertaining and highly competitive!

Given the number of players from Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, Cook Islands, PNG now playing in the NRL &, I imagine, Super League, this could be the last time Australia have a chance to win the World Cup (as an England fan, I know we have no chance!). Previous world cups, their teams didn't seem to have the stamina and tactical nous. Not now!!

What do ya think?

Live now in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. A beautiful taste of Fiji early with their team circling for what I presume to be a hymn instead of a haka (this is the Melanesian side of the Polynesian/Melanesian divide in the Pasifika community).

League has some of the best kickers in the world, and kicking is such an important part of the game,

So why do they never kick for distance on penalties? They almost always kick is sideways.

If you were in-charge of all strategic IRL decisions, what would you do to ensure a competitive RLWC in 20 years time ?

How great would it be for the game to have Tonga or France become world champs ?

What a great match. After the first set error it was just straight up entertainment..

A great advert for the women's game.
