Oh burn.

I guess the poms will want Alibert to ref all their games now. Until they lose one.

Why would it look bad on TV?

If there was a boxing match between a top fighter and an average one it would likely be over in under a minute, nobody would complain because it's the nature of the sport. If people can't deal with a situation where one side is clearly better than the other then that's their problem.

Think Stuart Littler has only turned up for a fight! After every time he gets tackled he walks after somebody mouthing off.

Just how bad is Tom Burgess' ball control?

The sport needs to rid itself of the 'cannonball' tackle. On 41 mins, Kostjasyn is held up 5 yards out by 2 England defenders. Momentum has stopped, the ball is smothered, there's no threat. O'Loughlin then piles in with a shoulder tackle into the standing leg of the Irish guy.

No bloody need. Then again, you can take the boy out of wi*an...

Thankfully, there was no injury to Kostjasyn - but it's a tactic I despise because it really can do damage to the standing player.

he is terrible.........he is the logan of the Tomkins family......getting a gig because of his surname

McNamara was a right miserable git during that interview.

Yeah he was. I don't know what's annoyed him but he needs to relax a tad.

Bit harsh, doesn't seem as strong when running with ball as Sam or George but will benefit from playing in the NRL

That's just him in general. He gets riled up to easy. He wouldn't be any good at mind games.

Maybe he's sick of constantly getting stick from fans and journalists?

Why does he need to relax he's there to coach the team

Ill be honest I couldn't be bothered watching the second half because it thought it was gong to be a case of another 30 points by England in the second half. But did everything click? How did Widdop , chase and sinfield do in the second half?

Should have watched it!

He was cheesed off with Tanya Arnold who asked him about Zak Hardaker and possibly being kicked out of the squad in the pre-match interview. He looked very grumpy when she started asking about this.

She obviously turned up to do the post match and he wasn't a happy bunny. Decided not to play ball.

Tom burgess has had his chance. Please no more
Hill and graham surely must start.
Nice to have SOL back.

I want to see burrow given a chance from the bench.
I don't understand the tactic of widdop coming on.
Ferres is very impressive. Strange how he came straight into the side but obviously banana cake realised his mistake not including him in the squad.

Ablett is a good player but again i don't see what he ads.
