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.

There were plenty of non-Warrington fans there.

Yes, and all the Wigan fans left five minutes from the end

I can't add much to the comments about what a wonderful night it was and a lot of credit goes to everyone involved. great when there's a good bit of Rugby League news to report. But as someone who hasn't been able to see a replay on TV can anyone explain what happened with the Samoan try where Ganson reversed the video referee's decision? We weren't clear why it had been referred in the first place and were surprised by the "No Try" when it came

Uncle Alibert pressed the wrong button, and just for good measure pressed it again before finally getting it right

It wasn't him it was a technician

Fantatsic match and a pleasure to be there. Even though the Kiwis were running away with the game in the first half there was some really big hits that kept the match alive. That second half was something else though. This is up there with the NZ v Tonga game but in different ways. There was a good report in the programme about the Tonga game in 1995. Well done to both teams and all who attended the game to make it a game to remember.

IIRC it was referred to the video ref to check for a foul on the NZ player and for a possible knock on. Video ref called it as a try. IT guy pressed the wrong button. Queried by Silverwood. Wrong button pressed again. Reconfirmed by TH. Right button pressed. At no point (as has been reported in some media reports) was the decision ever changed/reversed/overturned. It was simply that the wrong button was pressed (apparently exactly the same thing happened in the very first game where Vidtech was used)

I was feeling quite sorry for myself with man flu before this game but what a game to get me over it, the ground was bouncing in the second half and the Samoans looked made up with the support.

Great game!!
