International 4 Nations 2014

[Oscarman]

Last 2 England tries were next to the posts but conversions were taken from in front. What's going on there?

Seen England. NZ/Aus just kicking off.

 

[robbieando]

Dropped it cold there

 

[moto748]

All four teams showing a bit of rustiness, not surprising, really. But two competitive matches to start the comp must be a good thing.

If we're talking technicalities, I thought both sides were often offside at the re-starts, although it was only penalised once.

I'm positive that I'll enjoy it, because it's a fun game to watch live. 3 rows from the front, too, so I'm pretty keen! It's obviously a different code so I'm not going to directly compared the game itself, but there's no need if I enjoy it anyway.

International Rules is in the same boat as the 4 Nations imo, and yes, like you said, it's a gimmick. Both are still fun to watch though.

It's absolutely nothing like that rules bullshit!

Yes and yes.

This game is there for the Kiwis taking. Must finish it off.

Whare scores. Bring it home boys.

Nightingale!!!!

 

[Oscarman]

Too many spuds in the Australian team.

 

[moto748]

Was Taupau onside from the kick there? I thought not.

 

[Aucklander]

30-12 and some really good contributions from new guys in the Kiwi team.

 

[moto748]

Cronk kicks the ball away with players outside him.

 

[Aucklander]

Australia v England is suddenly a huge game next sunday here in Melbourne.

 

[moto748]

Yes, well played the Kiwis, deserve the score.

 

[Aucklander]

The balls. LoL

 

[moto748]

And, better still, both results are just what the comp needed to keep things on the edge.

The Kangaroos will be absolutely determined not to lose two on the spin, though.

 

[Aucklander]

Thank heavens I won't have run off crowing about Union tonight. Hahahaha

Sunday's game really should be a beauty. A real chance for England to knock off a weakened Kangaroos.

 

[Aucklander]

Bloody hell, great wrap up on 9.

 

[moto748]

England coughed up a bit of ball against the Samoans, but the Aussies coughed up more. If we can continue that trend with the Burgesses and James Graham...

 

[Sydney Bloods]

well congrats newzealand, deserved to win, Not trying to take anything away as they would have one anyway.
But that english ref was a complete *****!

 

[moto748]

No real complaints about the reffing in either game, a few errors have to be expected, but I thought they were both clear and fair. Video ref decisions, including overturned ones, all looked correct to me.
