This article is as much about why and how we can't learn to beat the Aussies as it is revealing of the truth about international RL. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/63650965We can line up as many permutations of our best players as we like, but when you haven't played the top country(ies) since 2017 what's the point? |

I love the biased French linesman; disallowed a perfectly good English try @nd arguing with the ref. He’s giving every decision to the French…

Winning try (we hope) and the French linesman objects🤣
Absolutely brilliant
At the presentation the Freanch official still objecting and being booed…fantastic

Wheelchair final was absolutely brilliant.
Massive congratulations to all the players from both sides ( but especially the English).
French lino was an absolute embarrassment to himself but made England winning even sweeter. Am I allowed to say bellend on here?

I feel incredibly lucky that I was there to see England win a World Cup. A truly fabulous game. What a sport to watch live.
£22.42 total for 2 tickets nearly on half way. Best money I’ve ever spent.

Agree re the linesman Chief, I think you’ve been polite. Disallowed a perfectly good try even under investigation, continually penalised England, ranted amazingly when a decision given against the French and then completely lost it when the French lost. All added to the night as England won but I dread to think what the crowd would have done to him if they’d lost.

I think the explanation of why the try was disallowed wouldn't have helped after his rant and medal acceptance behaviour. Good for UK's foreign hate themes though!
In the same way that an Aussie shouldn't ref any 'roos matches all officiators should be neutral.

The Beeb insisting on showing coaches while the game continues and their ridiculous persistence with Jiffy.
Two bets in our house everytime he's on how long before he uses the word poor and how many times he'll say something negative.

I think overall the Beeb have done a great job.
2 million tuned in last night for the wheelchair epic.
