Samoa have given it everything but could never match the Aussies, man for man. At least it was competitive and a decent watch.

Yes, Samoa started well briefly and looked as they might cause an upset but it wasn’t too long before the only question was how many Australia would win by. Head and shoulders above any other team. Samoa did well to contain them but didn’t handle the ball as well or close down the opposition as well as they did in the semi-final.

The Eng/NZ RU game ended surprisingly! Good to watch except for a whistle-happy ref.

England were sloppy, too many loose balls and getting turned over. That said an impressive end first time New Zealand haven’t won a game where they had a 14 point lead at half time.

Best result was minnows Georgia beatingbWales with a late kick In front of 64,000 disgruntled Taffs.

No matter what anyone's views of the sport are, I think all would agree that what Kevin Sinfield has done for MND this year should put him well up the list for honours and recognition.

A cracking role model, putting himself through a lot of pain and effort for what he believes is a worthy cause, and to support his good friend Rob Burrows and others unfortunate enough to be affected by the cruel disease.

I was at Old Trafford on Saturday and the fact that everyone virtually stayed in their seat to welcome him onto the pitch shows the level of the man that people wanted to applaud him. Incredible effort, for his friend x

That RL World Cup was a ****show. The sport is as good as dead, and its 'fans' don't make it appealing to outsiders. It says a lot that if you ever ask a league fan about the sport, or what the rules are, they can't help but mention union. They just can't help themselves. And you can't really call its one international tournament interesting when the Aussies have won 10 of the last 11, and been losing finalists in the other
