Hard to listen to after a while

Nothing positve, its just pure negativity

Have you never read this forum? That's exactly what rugby league people like and want.

All the commentators have done is put the game down. It's been a decent game IMO and although England have begun to run away with it, Wales deserve a lot of credit for the way they've played.

Comments like "He'll go down as the first Australian to score for England" aren't needed at all, especially by someone who is meant to be Pro-RL.

Why, is he not the first Australian to score for England?

I'm not sure, do you think the RU commentators undermined the International game when Hape played saying he's the first RL international to score for England? Or Cricket commentators say when Strauss was made captain that he's the first South African to captain England?

Who's brainwave was it to interview two and a half Aussies on BBC?

How is Widdop half Aus?

Are you really surprised? I'm surprised they didn't interview Tyson Frizell as well for Wales.

Nor is Reed but the accent is there.

Sorry, I took your comments literally.

They aren't going to say that because Tony Greig, Allan Lamb and Kevin Pietersen were all South Africans who captained England before Strauss did.

People moan about Eddie and Stevo telling us how good our game is and when its the opposite on the beeb people stoll moan. RL fans in this country are a major reason why it wil never grow out of the heartlands.

I was using potential examples, if you wanted to be technical you could have jumped on the RU comment too.

So is the idea that we pick these Australians and New Zealanders but then never let them in front of a microphone, or mention them? We undermined international competition when we selected them.

Oh, and neither was Hape the first RL international to score for England. You could probably choose any number who got there before him (back in the days when England RU used to score tries)
