What a great game. Wonderful exposure for Rugby League. Noisy crowd, fitness levels and discipline 100% improvement from the last world cup. Still on now Freesport.

Passion, I don't think they get on too good
It was a great watch. The pre-match stuff was brilliant, sat there with goosebumps watching that. Tonga will give NZ a decent run next week I think.
NEVER WRITE OFF THE SAINTS
Cracking game, had tickets but gave them to our Samoan neighbours ( and loan of our car) fireworks going off in here in our part of Auckland all day.
The sort of game we need more of in the world cup pretty evenly matched and both sides going for it
There was more passion and commitment in the pre-match build up in this game than in the entire England v Lebanon match.
What i really wanted today was England to smash Lebanon put our bodies on the line ,because today was last chance saloon,if we had lost today our World Cup would have been over.
You don't win the World Cup in your second group match, perhaps you didn't realise that,winning World Cups is all about doing enough to get through the next match hopefully without injuries,if we do win it i guarantee people like you won't be saying 'Yeah we are World Champions but we showed no passion whatsoever against Lebanon so we don't deserve it'

It was a great advert for the sport hope the nrl or the international federation see the great chance they have in promoting the game even more in the pacific islands
It was a good game but didn't fully live up to the hype for me.
Perhaps I was expecting too much.
Never gonna happen. The only 2 games with any fight in that group were always going to be England v Australia and Lebanon v France. The others all a foregone conclusion. Lebanon may have beat France but at the end of the day 90% of their team are part timers never capable of challenging England. In better conditions we’d have put 60 on them.
Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.
Taxi for England if it's the Kiwis!
Brilliant game to watch, loved the pre and post match gatherings as well. Complete respect for each other as well, there wasn't one bit of niggle in the whole game, not even any clowning around at the ruck. I wish every game was played like that.
WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF POOR BEN FLOWER?!
Only just watched the re-run of the game , terrific entertainment topped off with a wonderfully happy atmosphere Thailand is called the land of smiles but ,The South sea Islanders run them very close 2nd . Cannot wait for the NZ vs. Tonga game
