    @Mackerzzzz damn good kiwi side too

    Good but even with the Island sides watering everything down probably not good enough to win the final.

    So Oregon Kaufusi has been named in the Tongan and Samoan teams. He's also eligible for NZ too (and presumably Oz).

    Maybe he did a Taumalolo and then forgot to tell the team he said he'd originally play for that he was defecting?

    We Could potentially field the best balanced kiwi team of all team , not so much measured with the stars, but with no if very few weaknesses

    just on the upcoming World Cup

    Has Mal Meninga made a mistake? He's basically picked an Origin pack that is totally suited to a flat out game. While test matches played in the UK with international refs actually be that type of game? Traditionally they have been a lot slower, meaning you need big units.

    Even Penrith have big units in the front row.

    Its still a good pack, but this is also why I give us a good shout. We have some serious muscle up front including most of the Penrith props .

    60-6 to England against Samoa in the opener. Samoa had injuries but disappointing in general from them considering the amount of NRL players.

    That's put quite a dampener on the tournament in a way. 16 teams is too many. This was really the only heavyweight clash in the pool games.

    Unless you're a fiend for RL you can pretty much ignore the tournament until the semis. With the exception of an expected clash between Tonga and Samoa in the QF I suppose.

    NZ playing Lebanon, Jamaica and Ireland is quite the pool lineup. Coaching staff will have their work cutout keeping the lads focused and not hitting the piss midweek. Fiji in the QF will be a little harder but then Australia in the semi will be definitely worth tuning in for.

    Only thing worse than the Samoa quality of play was the TV commentary. Embarrassing to listen to.

    Will tune in for the Quarters onward.
