Good game so far.

I love Hamiso and Trbo in the centres. Old style strike

Wong had an error but also some strong hit ups. He's got a good future ! Angus giving as good as he's getting. It's a real test battle in the middle. Carn Aussie !

Absolute BS Klown that tap on was fine. Deardens final passes to the other tryscorers were a little line ball though

[Carlos Parra]

Klein is doing a great job proving that he is, without doubt, the worst referee to have ever run onto a field.

[Carlos Parra]

Klein is a disgrace.

I will dance a jig the day he retires.

Should never have a whistle in his mouth again.

The one thing that stands out in that final is that Australia really missed Teddy.

My top 3 were

1. Dearden
2. Turbo
3. Grant

I thought Tommy was the fullback?

Collins is such a powder puff. He’s consistently getting smashed. Don’t know how he makes the Aussie side. He ain’t no enforcer.

thought he was excellent 13 in all other aspects of the game -can't question the effort part of his game. Hopefully it's just a coincidence of getting smashed taking it up because it's a pretty important part of any props game the hit up!

Australia 13 plus in the final.
Tonga played there GF tonight.

they aimed up Mickey definitely had all the momentum coming home. Was a good contest. Pleased to see other nations pushing us making internationals more interesting these days. Love the Tongan passion.

How good was the crowd? Loved it. Felt like an EPL game crowd.

That come back from Tonga really felt like it was maunfactured. Every line ball call went Tonga's way, blind eye turned to a blatant forward pass from Soni Luke, nothing penalties called to help them build pressure.

I thought the opposite, Australia got away with murder in the ruck as soon as play got into their defensive 20. Probably the most blatant slowing down of the play the balls that I've seen since a Cam Smith lead Melbourne Storm side.

I thought it was a very negative mindset from Australia and made for a disappointing spectacle despite the game being quite close in the end.
