It being a World Cup, I would expect Burgess to get no more than one or two matches.
And yeah, a shame he's started to bring the grubby stuff to his game. He's a superb player. Mind you, a high shot can happen, some of his other stuff of late has been tres ordinaire IMO.

He'll get three matches, coming back just in time for England's next serious match against New Zealand in the semi-final.

Really not a test player. Not a fan at all.
Been a decent game, IMHO. Think we've stood up pretty well, all things considered.

I wanted it to miss just because of the point I made before the kick but it would have been exciting if he kicked it. I actually can't believe the winger didn't try and get closer, I thought it was an obvious thing to do to gain a few metres which could have made a big difference. I've been impressed with England anyway, they've played well.

There was an injured player behind the play that put Charnley off.
Though Charnley is fast as ****.

I took England with the 13.5 start so Sinfield's miss and England's goal-line errors really had me ****ting it at the end there.

I probably have to see it again but I don't really get how an injured player would have been out of his sight.
Really it would have been really unlucky for England and you as it turns out if we crossed for a try in the dying stages. 8 point margin seems about right but on another day it could have been even closer.

Good match, hope we see more James Graham in their next few games. Was kinda disappointed with the Italians. Should've scored more points with the amount of posession they had in the second half. Pretty good goal line defence from Wales though. Travesty that Guerra didn't win Man of the Match, he was brilliant, so dangerous on that left edge. So who's your tip for the 4th semi finalist, apart from the big 3? I'm leaning towards Italy/Fiji.

Won't be Italy because even if they win their group they'll have to play New Zealand in the quarters.
Barring any completely massive upsets, the quarters line up like this:
Australia v Group D Winner (Wales/Cook Islands/USA)
Group B 2nd place (Samoa/France/PNG) v Group A 3rd place (Fiji/Ireland)
New Zealand v Group C Winner (Italy/Tonga/Scotland)
England v Group B 3rd place (Samoa/France/PNG)
Which reasons to suggest that the fourth semi-finalist will be Samoa, France, PNG, Fiji or Ireland. I reckon Samoa from that lot.
