got the mom spot on rhys evans'"
Just got back home. It was a VERY enjoyable game, well worth the £3 admission fee.
Attendance 980. Pretty good atmosphere as we were all sat in the one stand.
The Wigan lads all played well I thought, especially Sam Powell in the first half (great 40-20 and a well taken try), Danny Bridge was very strong as well.
Other notable mentions were Rhys Evans, his only error was in the first few minutes when the Aussie scrum half left Evans in no mans land on a running arch, which led to the the Aussies taking the lead 4-0. Also thought our props Burgess & Krasniqi played very well.
England were always in control of this game, even having a try disallowed for a forward pass when we were 26-4 up. That would have killed the game off, but the touchjudge thought otherwise.
Might have to take in a few Academy games at Orrell next season cause I really enjoyed it!
