*Official* Rugby League World Cup 2013

[BoyBrumby]

Seriously, is the forward pass rule optional in NZ? Thurston must've thrown half a dozen at least and the **** calls the first one we make.

Second half could get ugly. We've given it a good lash and are somehow two scores behind.

 

[Burgey]

Brumby, talk me through this Hill ****. Love love love the cut of his jib.

 

[NUFAN]

Yep that is more like it. Excellent kick by Cam Smith from dummy- half and a well rehearsed scrum play leads to a try in the corner for Morris.

 

[BoyBrumby]

He's really playing above himself, tbf.

A lot of folk (self included) were a tad surprised to see him get the gig ahead of Graham.

 

[Burgey]

He's vindicated that decision tbf, but Graham's omission is startling tstl.

Cronk's haircut is terribad. 90s boy band/ Shane Lee undercut in excelsis.

 

[Burgey]

Try. Be a cracking last 20

 

[NUFAN]

It is a little funny how whenever England score they go to the video but when Australia score they call it a try straight away

BTW, thoughts on Farah on the bench? I forgot he was there, such a Sheens selection.

 

[Burgey]

Someone screen cap that:

"George Burgess: first try on debut for England".

 

[NUFAN]

Ajd00d the most likely to be able to screen cap something.

I hope to see a strong final 20 or so minutes from Matt Scott. Seems to have been pretty quiet this game so far. Tamou actually was decent during his second stint.

 

[Burgey]

Australia's right side defence continues to studiously avoid contesting and catching the high ball on the full.

 

[ajdude]

nah can't screencap, i'm watching it on tv.

sloppy rig that

 

[BoyBrumby]

Burgey's boy Fifita trying to wrench Tomkins's ligaments there. Naughty.

 

[NUFAN]

That was the best tackle I've seen from Thaiday in a long time..

 

[ajdude]

this westwood **** better not have HIV

 

[Burgey]

Burgey's boy Fifita trying to wrench Tomkins's ligaments there. Naughty.

Think he had the ****s because Yomkins lashed out with his feet, or Fifita thought he did.

Westwood in mould of the tough old Pommie forwards of the past. Good stuff.

 

[ajdude]

BOY OH BOY WOWEE! BIG BOY BURGESS BIFFS BIG THIADAY

z

 

[Burgey]

Thaiday's gone. Big, high shot from Burgess.

This is old school. Don't send him off ffs. Report is enough, too good a game.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Oooo. Burgess has to be on report for that.

Swinging arm that landed.

 

[ajdude]

so how many weeks will burgess get? high contact, reckless, high impact

 

[NUFAN]

In Sam Burgess last 10 games or so he has become a bit of a grub and is guilty of brain explosions. Does some awesome stuff on the field the majority of the time so it is just a bit disappointing when he stuffs it up.

I have no idea how many weeks he will get for that. In the NRL with his record I think he might be out for 4 weeks or so. I hope in this tournament it is just a 1 or at the worst 2 match suspension.
