Quote: jonh "Agreed. I think we genuinely have a chance of winning it. We are second favourites behind the Aussies but for the first time in decades I think they have weaknesses that can be exposed.

The key for them in my opinion is Harry Grant. The pack is not one that terrifies me any more in fact I would say it is the most average pack the my have sent over in my lifetime. Grant though when he is playing well and allowed even a half yard of space gets them on the front foot superbly well.

This is where I think the Pacific nations lack a little quality and depth. They have wonderful athletes who seem purpose built physically for the game, but they do lack a bit of consistency and depth at 9, 6 & 7 and their 13s tend to be a little one dimensional.

I am of the opinion this England team can match most teams physically and also skill wise if we can keep out best 17 fit. It’s the belief and the Aussies knowing how to win that worries me.

We cannot overlook Samoa who will be a very different animal to the one we played in the first game but I think we will have the quality to go in confident we can and should beat them.'"

I’ve never seen an England forward pack dominated, though we have been consistently dominated 1-7 since I can remember. If we can contain Latrell and co we stand a chance.

Quote: Kettykat "Two of the worlds most high profile players , Fifita and Taumalola were big disappointments for me in this game , Jason ran it in a few times but Fifita didn’t look interest and was skulking wide out well away from the play the ball . Expected a lot more from these two big earners .'"


I think that is the Fifita style. He doesn't go looking for the work. The consensus seems to be that he needs to be in a team where those inside do the work so he can the more devastating stuff against a stretched defence. Unfortunately, he's always played for a team that isn't that good, and they hope he'll work some magic.

Too chilled? Too lazy? Not played in a good enough team? A mystery, but he's young enough to find his place. The day isn't far away, however, where he'll get paid an awful lot less.

Worst career move Fifita made was taking the huge money to go to the Titans.

Gone from a future legend to a lazy player because he took the easy option to join a club with a poor culture rather than take less money to go to a club that would develop him further as a player. Only young though so still time for him to turn it around.

I think Taumalola may have been playing injured spent a lot of time with the physio in the warm up and he certainly wasn’t at his block busting best.

Quote: Slugger McBatt "Yes, you might be right, but it is Fox Sports, who broadcast the NRL, so it is akin to the Sky Sports page, much different to some of the websites. It has some credibility.'"


I have no doubt some cock up has been made by someone. However what is now being done is to sensationalise it to create click bait.

It’s much more newsworthy for Fox Australia to make out that it may have been pommie arrogance or incompetence than to state it was a clerical error by someone in the NZ camp.

I think when it comes to running big sporting events we do ok in this country. A few gremlins in this WC but nothing massive, so I reckon we could book flights if that’s our job.

May be wrong, but stinks of Pom bashing to me.

It might depend on who is paying.

I'm more impressed that it only costs $350 to fly to New Zealand! As cheap as Malaga.
