I see New Zealand cruising to an early big lead, and then taking their foot off the gas for a brief period, allowing Brough and Russell to work some magic for Scotland.

Scotland have been great in this WC so far, but their forwards will have to play the game of their lives to just keep the score respectable.

Don't like to see injuries - but if Williams goes off that will even up the game a bit.

is it ok to ask for a stream for this one please? can't locate one.
(apologies if this isn't allowed).

Thanks

no try

but there is no excuse for letting that ball bounce.

It's a good game so far.
Scotland are keeping them honest.

8-0 to NZ - that try was a bit soft.

Scotland are trying hard, but this is going to get ugly. The Kiwis are going to chuck the ball around and run in some trys from now on.
14-0

England have no chance of making the final

Scotland they simply haven't turned up. It's men against boys out there.

Scotland are trying hard but physically they are getting smashed by the Kiwi's. Must be very tiring for the Scots, can see a big score unfortunately.

What a load of rubbish, the Scots are throwing everything at them! New Zealand are simply too good! Who was it on another thread that said Englands wingers are better than NZ's? Hall i think is just as good if not better than Vatuvai & Tuivasa-Sheck, but both are on a different level to Briscoe & Charnley IMHO

NZ looking very very good though,

This is the sort of game the Kiwis love to play, but if you can put pressure on them they start to make mistakes.
Scotland can't put pressure on them, but England and Australia will.

Charnley and or Briscoe are a different proposition to the scots wings. Think England's problem is the kiwi halves and their new found clinical style.

Brilliant stuff by the RFL. Wait until just before a massive quarter final game for Scotland and then break the news that they have cut all funding for Scotland Rugby League.

Rightly so on this showing

Wire, do you have a link for the article?

Absolute shame if they have, hopefully the profits from the WC can be used for nations like Scotland.

Quite disgraceful short sightedness from the RFL. If they want to make cuts get rid of some of the wasters at Red Hall rather than the pioneers.

How else are London supposed to be funded???

Now THAT was a try!!!!

Great invention by Scotland, shame they kicked it to that bloke.

I still lol at people that think england are going to beat this mob in the semi.

Just....no.

I think some of them are just trying to play devils advocate to people like me who have written england off.

When NZ are in their flow they are just relentless. Too much power, skill, agility. too much everything.

It's Harlem globetrotters stuff now.

Maybe the RFL have cut the funding for the celtic nations so it can be invested elsewhere, perhaps somewhere closer to breaking into the big 3?
