    Not really. That second half was a great display of skillful rugby league. I suppose it did help that Wales were dead on their arses.

    I was cheering for Lebanon. I thought they had a great second half and scored some superb tries. Once they cut out their in-discipline they can play quite well and fully deserved their win tonight.

    there are probably as many RL teams in the lebanon as in wales, its no embarrasment at all.

    the LEbanese have so superb skills the welsh well struggle at international level these days.

    beaten by scotland last week is more embarrassing.

    The Lebanon scrum half was sensational. Scored a try and set two up with blistering pace in what must have been a 10 minute spell. Get him signed!

    So a player from the Lebanon playing at the top flight against top teams in front of large crowds in events like the GF at Old Trafford and the CCF at Wembley and getting paid a (comparative) fortune wouldn't serve as a greater inspiration than playing in the local Lebanese amateur league?

    I did laugh at the accents on the Lebenese players that were interviewed.
    I don't understand the cheering for a non british team though, no matter how well they are playing.....Respect it, fair enough but cheering?

    they'll make the world cup an absolute fortune if they get there, think of all the lebanese from sydney tipping up to games, there'll be near full stadia wherever they happen to play

    Great result for the game.

    Lebanon is a country that has never had a team to shout about. Fair enough, we know they are all Australians, but the inclusion of Lebanon in the World Cup could elevate the profile of the sport in the country to a level where people will actively form an interest in the sport (unlike Scotland, Wales and Ireland that participate internationally in much more high profile sports).

    Lebanon beating Samoa would be the best result for the game in years.

    When I went to Lebanon last year, the Israelis bombed the runway at Beirut airport 24 hours after I was there. Nowt to do with rugby…but a lucky escape.

    I don't think so! Wales won by 2 but Scotland on the aggregate by 5.

    They bombed it because they thought Lee Briers was on your plane, once they realised he was not, they got togethr had a chin wag, and decided to show the goverment how mad they are, thus the bombing campaign started and the campaign for "Briers for Lebanon" was born.
