Grounded first. Fifita would try and argue that Black was white!

There last tackle kicking games as bad as ours.

Don’t know what’s up with Gale. His kicking has been shocking all tournament. On the plus side, looks like we’ve got rid of Hodgson and on comes Roby.

And just to prove things are going our way. Hodgson oFflint injured.

Great, we've stopped completing!

Hodgson has been great in the first 20.

Just bateman needing to go now...

Would agree, that was probably Hodgson's best 20 mins. Also about how scrappy England are. Just as well Tonga have been. But they're starting to make easy yards.

Caslad just feel the way England play doesn't suit him, so is affecting his game.

It doesn’t mate, I agree. I love Gale for us, but without our structures and plays he looks a little lost. As much as it pains me to say it, I’m not convinced he is an international half.

both countries totally inept really

Widdop is our best half on the field by far.

Hahaha, Ref says get on the try line and then Tonga are almost 6 metres off side the last 3.-4 tackles and Roby gets creamed.
So far we've played really well, couple of mistakes but great defence.
Kicking is still ordinary but can see Tonga running out of steam.

Engkand looked good for first 20 but not do good second 20 - attack has fallen apart (again).

Good half for us that. Defence been brilliant. Just need to find a kicking game from somewhere

Enjoyable half.
Tonga exciting with ball in hand.
England scrambled well in defence

Think the more free flowing play and offloads break the field up for him, allowing him to shine more and give him more freedom. Which suits him more.
Agree this system England play suits someone like Snyed more.
Should have been a penalty to Tonga there tackled after the kick.

But very good half, Widdop playing well. Tonga getting more yards. But solid defence by us means they haven't really looked like scoring.
