    Is this the time for the English scribes to make comments about hard tackling head hunters taking out star players?
    If anyone is going to get taken out are nominations open?

    So Eddie was bluffing when he said he'd changed his mind about getting his top side out for this

    I had the English ITV commentary on last night during the AB game.

    Funny hearing the English commentators trying to hype up Tonga - conveniently neglecting they had 90 points put on them a few weeks ago.

    Unfortunately can only see this, hopefully Tonga don't roll over and at least make it physically competitive.

    If England get less than a 92-7 win it's a failure, right?

    Classic. English commentator summoning the ignorant ghost of yesteryear. Billy born in Tonga apparently.

    I consider it a failure by Tonga if they don’t hurt at least 2 poms

    Ha ha, jeez at no point did I think Takalua would actually slot that. Eccentric routine, but it works.

    England have missed some chances to go wide. Not sure why. Tongans are not great one on one tacklers.

    There’s some real space out wide for Tonga if they move it to the fringes

    Tonga are diffusing the high balls well but their forwards are already feeling the pace (which hasn't been electric). They will get done here but are doing a good job so far.

    He was tackled and got up.

    That second tackle is high though. Penalty try.

    Great try saver. 22 minutes played and it's 3 all. Didn't expect that.

    If he saw it grounded, it will be a try. I still wonder when the ref saw it though.

    Agree with the comms. The English had plenty of time to get that ball on the line after the whistle and before the ref was at the right side to check a grounding. The TMO was never going to find any evidence.

    That s a weird call, especially following the previous one.

    If you're calling try, surely you've seen it grounded so was he only looking for a knock on?
