"Oh Samoa is wonderful, oh Samoa is wonderful, it's full of ****, *****, and Samoa, oh Samoa is wonderful".

Well done to the blokes who got the singing going. Brilliant night.

The phantom whistler seemed to be near us in the NE Corner last night & it sounded like he had an apprentice with him so we could have another one to listen to next season.

I thought , from that corner, the ground looked fantastic full to the rafters & i'm only too pleased Samoa started scoring or it would have been a long & quiet second half. It was great to see the game explode into life & give the amazing fans a treat. I hope the RFL have done some careful planning to get what will be lower attended games paired up with with smaller stadia so they mostly look full to capacity on tv.

Sent an email this morning suggesting that the council looks into twinning with a town in Samoa. Think it would be a great way to ensure the World Cup has a long lasting legacy.

Sonny Bills Balls up and the hakas are the two most watched videos on the BBC website at the minute...great stuff

Really enjoyed the choir supplying the pre-match - quality...

Brave and good decision to cover Pompeii by Bastille - it worked well. If anyone knows their leader and members - congratulations and praise is due..

The way most of the crowd got behind Samoa - just magic - and do remember there were thousands from outside Warrington joining in here!

Great stadium - perfect for rugby league - the game has spoken for itself - awesome..

I think it'll be interesting now to see how further ticket sales develop after what was such an impressive start to the World Cup Competition.

The England performance against a superior-but-yet-to-get-going side, an impressive debut from the Italians (with a not too shabby Welsh performance), the closeness of the PNG / France duel and a wonderful advert for the game (and supporters) from NZ and Samoa will surely generate more interest in filling the terraces.

I am looking forward to the Fiji vs Ireland game tonight at Spotland as there is a large Fijian community based in Rochdale so support should be good there too. After last night's match, I wish I was going.

May look at getting to the Scotland vs USA game at Salford and quite fancy USA vs Wales at Wrexham.

If others are feeling like me, maybe we could get some more full houses and a great groundswell of interest in our game which could lead to more support for the national leagues?

I'm LOVING it !

The RLWC website crashed last night following the game. When it eventually got back up there was a queue to get onto the tickets page. I have been trying to ring the ticket hotline this morning but there is a message saying to call back later.

The competition has got off to a brilliant start, I can't wait to set off to Rochdale in a few hours!

Fiji v Ireland now sold out.

Loving it.

Genuinely still buzzing today. The SBW mistake and crowd reaction will live long in the memory for me. Great game, and a great night. The Samoan players also seemed genuinely appreciative of the support they were getting, even geeing the crowd up.

That is great news! Looking forward to it even more now.

I've just managed to get my world cup final tickets. I had to ring the RFL ticket line as the wc ticket line kept telling me to ring back later. I had to buy tickets in an area that the website said were not currently on sale so the final should sell out soon. If we can have more repeats of last night this World cup will be awesome.
