Anyone watching?

A lot of pessimism in the studio, but at least Millward thinks we'll win convincingly...

I think the audio on the BBC broadcast is slightly ahead of their video feed. That's frustrating.

Morning SV yes commentary off putting but looking forward to game literally

Westerman international standard....nope.

Really poor start. Not a set completed in almost 20 minutes and too many penalties. Lucky to have not conceded, but defending well.

Clark is though!!!

Clark on the field for seconds and makes a try with a great dummy scoot.

Was about to make a post saying something like "here comes Clark, let's see how he does in an England shirt". Incredible.

Shenton try scorer, Widdop converts.

6-0

(For those of you who don't have a TV or are in work. At this time. On a Saturday).

Morning, Rico

.

More penalties. Couldn't stop that one...

6-4.

We are making this hard work pens and dropped ball and they don't need any encouragement. A bit of coaching genius needed at half time

Good try from Samoa working it out wide. Good finish. England mistake in our own 30m gifting field position for that one.

Other than that one run from Clark to set up the try, England have looked very poor.

10-6 (Samoa. Got the score backwards before).

England work the overlap. Watkins try.

This game should not be level. I think England will win this in the second half by more than a score.

Widdop converts. 10-12

That looked like a very awkward bend..

Widdop picks up the two for the penalty from the Clark challenge.

10-14.

Gutted I couldn't hear the interview with Tomkins! Those quick capsule interviews on the way to the dressing rooms are always so insightful, and incredibly professional.

England very lucky to be in front, but a great last 7 or so minutes.

Morning SC UR.
Been talking to myself on another thread.

I'll copy and put it here....

Shakey early start from England, created lots of opportunity but knock on nerves hampered us.

Great decision from Widdop to kick on the 2nd with only 1 1/2 mins of ht left on the clock.
Widdop knowing he would very likely get 2 sets by doing so.
I've never seen a player in SL!?

Awesome introduction from Clark in attack. He is suspect in defence positioning though. Hopefully TS will work on that.

Morning Mr. Duckie

.

I found it slightly annoying in the 1st half from Dave Woods and Nobby that their commentary was 1 or 2 secs in front on the play!

I was gonna commend George Burgess for his 1st half.

He is pants in this half.

They just have so much RL nouse that their commentary was clairvoyant. Impressive, yet annoying.

Sorry I was eating, I thought RD would post.

England looking much better, made good ground and scored through Farrell. Widdop converts.

10-20.

Is more apparent went a try is scored or bombed.

I had early nerves myself.
I lumped on England at 12/1.
