What a kick from magoulias there, took some finishing as well. I've only seen the 2nd half but magoulias has been good.

Looks like he irons his t shirt with a wok.

Tonga v PNG was a great game last night, but for a couple of moments PNG could have won that.

It looked like Tonga were going to run away with it when they scored twice late on in the first half. PNG found a way to get back into the game, but not quite enough to get the win. Enjoyable game to watch.

Williams is having another great game. And another run as Captain. If the Laybutt rumour is true we’re not looking too shabby for next season, as long as the forwards live up to their billing.

Man of the match too.

Williams has had two good games so far. England weren't quite as ruthless as they were against Samoa and may have a ban or two come the next disciplinary meeting. Job done, but we need to more focused for the full game when the QF's start.

Agreed, we weren't really as good as we were last week, but credit to France though, who were pretty good I thought. If france keep building like they are, then we could have some meaningful games in a tri series vs France and an exiles team?

Williams was brilliant again for us, if powell can't get a tune from Williams he needs to go.

What I have noticed about this World Cup is the amount of freestyle off-the-cuff rugby. It’s almost like a return to the early days of super league. For the last decade the entertainment value of Super League has dropped dramatically for me, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels that way.

I hope we see more of this stuff next season.

There's also a feeling of being able to watch a game without the frustration that went with our last league season, and I'm really looking forward to Tuesday's game.
