    Apparently one of the guys who played for England yesterday in their impressive win could have been in the Jamaican team had the tournament been last year as scheduled.

    Surprised to see Italy beat Scotland , only had a brief look whilst someone was injured in the football , didn't look like a big crowd .

    Only lost by 30 points to New Zealand too - that seems to be a good effort.

    Ah - thought that might be the case.

    So probably won't be the big scores people might expect.

    Well apart form England which was a surprise.

    Who the hell is going to compete with these Aussies? the last try summed it up. What a set of players, have to feel sorry for the Scots lads.

    Watched some of it and could have been even worse.

    Not good for the game generally though having such one sided games maybe.

    How good was that first half? NZ’s pack is putting in a dominant display here.

    I'm going to the second semi-final at the Emirates tomorrow, but I have no idea how on Earth England and Samoa can possibly follow what we've watched at Elland Road tonight. Rugby league is a truly wonderful sport and, tonight, Australia and New Zealand just demonstrated why.

    Regardless of the result quite a contrast from the first game between these two!
