Was a good match, although I was disappointed with Samoa.
England did what they had to do without being amazing. Was a solid performance with a good completion rate, although that probably dropped off a bit in the second half.

Great commentary from Andrew Voss as well, puts the sky pundits to shame.

In complete Agreement.Vossy is diffrent class to the Sky lads.Was also refreshing to have just the one 1 co commentator(Greg Alexander)instead of numerous different voices all basically saying the same thing.

I enjoyed the game. England looked well organised for a change even if we didn't look as dangerous as we could've done given the amount of possession we had on their line at times.

I enjoyed the game. I thought we looked very organised and weathered a fair bit of pressure (of our own making) in the second half and came through it well.

I thought the stream quality was poor, and I am still at a loss as to why the RFL did this.

Apparently the BBC offered bugger all for the rights.

My stream was a bit ropey but I have slow broadband in the styx.

I watched it at a friend's house who had paid for it. He had a quick internet link (even tested it just beforehand), had a PC set up to a a telly to watch it, and we found the stream to be poor. When the action was going on, it was very jumpy like it was buffering badly (sometimes slow, sometimes like bloody Benny Hill). Not constantly, but it was certainly very noticeable. Also very pixelated for any close ups.

He was largely non-plussed, but if I'd paid for it, I think I'd be wanting my money back.
