Samoa with the worst drop goal attempt I've seen in some time. Charged down.
With no disrespect to Samoa , Australia will win that with ease .
Nz v Australia was always going to be the game of the tournament and should have been the final , surely when preparing your fixture , your 1 and 2 ranked sides should be set up to meet that way without upsets . 3 set up to meet 2 , and 4 set up to meet 1 in the semis etc .
@kiwiinmelb haven't England had the better of New Zealand recently?

NZ were ranked number one. (Don't ask me why exactly).
Two sensational semi finals.
Final doesn’t have a hope in hell of matching the semis.
Aus will win something like 36-10.
What a turnaround from Samoa. That 60 point hiding means nothing to England now.

We beat Great Britain twice in 2019. England beat us the year before 3 games to one (but we beat Australia).
I despise when good things happen to Jerome luai
And thus I hope Australia win the final by 30
That said, the very best chance international league has of doing anything (that chance is .5%) is Samoa winning.
So Samoa by 10.

Where does your Luai hate come from? 
I dislike him for captaining the Junior Kiwis and then switching to Origin and Samoa, but, I'd much rather Samoa win even with him.
I'm just glad I have a team to support in the final now instead of hate watching both teams.
Because he is the king flog of the NRL right now.
The undisputed king.
Massive mouth despite being responsible for about nothing at Penrith. Floats around like an extra centre Because Yeo and cleary and Edwards do the heavy lifting. Is just a grade A flog. A downhill skier who carries on like he's a cornerstone of their success. A pox on his house.

Australia weren’t ranked number 2 though. Heading into the tournament (and rankings are based on the last 4 years of matches), it was
1- NZ
2- Tonga
3- England
4- Australia
5- PNG
6- Fiji
7- Samoa

@mimic all the Luai haters can go eat the dogs Fuas
Fua wouldn't be happy about that.
Very competitive first half
NZ had 10-35 mins but England finished strong
Eng 6-8 NZ
Halftime
@MiketheSnow 6 incomplete sets of 20 from NZ to England's 0 from 15. Less than 75% completion, that must have counted for a lot.

And is a gun. Good to see her talents making an impact on the big stage.
As expected a pretty easy win for Oz sadly. I felt like I was watching the Kiwis of the past where they'd have a big win one week and then be outclassed a week later.
Well, for me at least it justifies my belief that the two best teams played last week. 
24 days later

@Bones Fua would definitely be happy w that
He's changed, man.
