Genius idea by someone at Specsavers to spot that opportunity  |

Yep. Didnt they start off by sponsoring the ref in the SPL (some form of Scottish footie anyway) ? |

it would be interesting to see what team an Aussie/Kiwi/French journo would pick.
A genuinely neutral view would be interesting/informative.
After all - no matter how much we try to be impartial, the fact that we are on this forum would tend to say that we would find hard to genuinely independent

Some match that between New Zealand and Samoa. Full House too.
Different commentary from Voss who knew the players well due to most of them playing in the NRL. His off the cuff comments were good, that one about the Rodney and local culture made me smile
Looking good for the Tournament with games like that and sold outs being around the grounds.

I have to say that was a quality exhibition of rugby league. It has given me a better appreciation of the international game and gone some way to change my mind towards this competition vs an Ashes series.
It was a great atmosphere at the HJ as Samoa mounted their come back.
It's been a good opening weekend for the tournament. The OZzurri impressed on Saturday as well. |

What a spectacle at the HJ, if you were in two minds whether to go, you missed out. It was absolutely fantastic, had everything. And for that price, you cannot go wrong.
Fair play to the (mostly) Warrington crowd they did Rugby League proud tonight.

Perhaps the colour choice is not so genius.
How can you respect a referee dressed in pink ?

Yes the atmosphere was fantastic, a real throw back for me to the big games at Central Park. Sad that the all-seater DW will never generate anything like this. |

Not been to a GB v Australia match at The DW then? Cracking atmosphere at the 2003 game. |

Fuji v Ireland sold out apparently.
Great news.
The DW I suspect will be close to full for the quarter final as it looks like and England fixture there.
