0:00:41 > 0:00:50That he dealt in 17 rugby World Cup has reached the quarterfinal stage.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53Earlier England took on Papua New Guinea for a place in the last four.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56We will bring you extended highlights of that game over the
0:00:56 > 0:01:01next 90 minutes, plus highlights of the other quarterfinals. We're in
0:01:01 > 0:01:06the company of Kevin Sinfield and Jon Wilkin. Let's show you how the
0:01:06 > 0:01:06quarterfinals
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Jon Wilkin. Let's show you how the quarterfinals have gone so far in
0:01:07 > 0:01:14this tournament. Fiji's narrow win against New Zealand was the biggest
0:01:14 > 0:01:18shock of the tournament. The kiwis exited before the semifinals for the
0:01:18 > 0:01:23first time since it became a knockout tournament in 1995.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28Australia cruised past Samoa. Tonga narrowly edged a win over Lebanon
0:01:28 > 0:01:29yesterday.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Tonga would be the opponent in the semifinals for whoever won begin
0:01:36 > 0:01:39this morning between England and Papua New Guinea. It was watched by
0:01:39 > 0:01:45Brian Noble and Dave Wells.
0:01:47 > 0:01:52First thing to say is how English this crowd is today. This is
0:01:52 > 0:01:56virtually a home match for England. An estimated 80% of the people
0:01:56 > 0:02:00inside this ground have travelled over. Thousands upon thousands of
0:02:00 > 0:02:03England supporters. They are here today to see Sam Burgess back in the
0:02:03 > 0:02:08side after missing the last couple of games. McGillvary and Hill have
0:02:08 > 0:02:12recovered from minor injuries. They were potential doubt during the
0:02:12 > 0:02:25week. But they both start. MacGillivray had a ankle problem. Lo
0:02:25 > 0:02:32has also recovered from an injury. He has been signed by Castleford, I
0:02:32 > 0:02:42am sure you know. The referee today is James Child, just out of the --
0:02:42 > 0:02:48just out of the English influence. Steve Judy is the video referee if
0:02:48 > 0:02:50and when we require.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Everybody is ready. And in the breeze the ball just falls off the
0:02:59 > 0:03:06tee. It is a class. England expected to make World Cup progress. Papua
0:03:06 > 0:03:10New Guinea daring to dream about making World Cup history today. They
0:03:10 > 0:03:15have never been in a semifinal before. Their best previous was in
0:03:15 > 0:03:202000 in England when they lost in the quarterfinals against the Welsh
0:03:20 > 0:03:24that day. An estimated 2 million people, a quarter of the population
0:03:24 > 0:03:32in Papua New Guinea tune in to watch. Something similar happening
0:03:32 > 0:03:38in all of the towns and cities of Papua New Guinea, lots of people in
0:03:38 > 0:03:41front of the TV hoping their side can make history. But you have two
0:03:41 > 0:03:49CNN does the favourites. Let's hear for the first time from the people
0:03:49 > 0:03:59alongside me... -- but you have to the England as the favourites.You
0:03:59 > 0:04:03will see physicality at the start of this game. England need to be bought
0:04:03 > 0:04:07and structured. I think England will try to exploit some opportunities on
0:04:07 > 0:04:11the fringes. To do that they've got to get to the right part of the
0:04:11 > 0:04:22field.I totally agree. I think this will be a great day for England. I
0:04:22 > 0:04:27expect all McGillvary to get some tries. I expect England can do this
0:04:27 > 0:04:34convincingly. I really like it. This looks good.Ryan Hall is further
0:04:34 > 0:04:39left. He has collided with Gale. He is clearly hurt. Sam Burgess takes
0:04:39 > 0:04:49it on. David Mead has been wiped out. The referee will stop the game
0:04:49 > 0:04:54here. Had it been a pass and would have been a try surely.Talking
0:04:54 > 0:04:57about the edges, just a bit of subtle play where they create the
0:04:57 > 0:05:02extra man. Burgess, passing the ball. Gale into space. He wraps
0:05:02 > 0:05:09around the back. There will be a lot of press at the back. Gale creates
0:05:09 > 0:05:21so many threats. Then two big back rowers in Widdop Sam Burgess. -- in
0:05:21 > 0:05:27Widdop and Sam Burgess. Not the best of starts for him here. You can see
0:05:27 > 0:05:32the reluctance, but the medical staff insisting he must come away.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36That was a big clash. A terrific start from England's point of view,
0:05:36 > 0:05:44can they come back from this? Walkins looking to slip away. But it
0:05:44 > 0:05:48is out of play. Papua New Guinea celebrating a defensive moment that
0:05:48 > 0:05:53might just be relieving the pressure for them here. -- Watkins looking to
0:05:53 > 0:05:58slip away.They were gone. On the other side of the field they have
0:05:58 > 0:06:01numbered up, rallied, and stopped the final play from the English.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06They were dead and buried on the side of the field. And the injury,
0:06:06 > 0:06:11for me, got them out of trouble.He thought he was going out but he was
0:06:11 > 0:06:19nowhere near the sideline. Lack of composure by Watkins.Just beyond
0:06:19 > 0:06:24the 20 metre mark and brought back in by Martin. Quite a few of them
0:06:24 > 0:06:28with a bit of NRL experience. Martin is one of them. He is predicted to
0:06:28 > 0:06:35be a big thing in the next couple of years with the Bulldogs. Out it
0:06:35 > 0:06:46comes to bow us who shows the pass and inside for Martin. -- Boas. Boas
0:06:46 > 0:06:53again with the kick. Widdop gets onto it. England start ten away from
0:06:53 > 0:07:02their line. And here is Hall...He should pass the ball.Have a look at
0:07:02 > 0:07:06the size difference between the two teams. All across the board England
0:07:06 > 0:07:10are far bigger in almost every position than Papua New Guinea.The
0:07:10 > 0:07:13last time they played each other it was a rather depressing affair, it
0:07:13 > 0:07:22was a warm up game in the for nations in Auckland. The most
0:07:22 > 0:07:31momentous memory of that was somebody scoring debut, but I think
0:07:31 > 0:07:36England will be looking to forget that game.Remember the restart from
0:07:36 > 0:07:4720 metres, the ball has gone dead... One thing the Papua New Guinea team
0:07:47 > 0:07:51that is the one half out. I expect England to kick early, especially
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Gale, to utilise that, because they don't pose many problems with
0:07:54 > 0:08:00yardage.No matter worrying about kicking early, playing four, five,
0:08:00 > 0:08:06take away the counter of New Guinea, just to show that England are
0:08:06 > 0:08:11prepared to do the tough stuff, as well.I agree.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Segeyaro, he would likely return to Leeds, I'm not sure Leeds would want
0:08:25 > 0:08:34it. There is pressure on Widdop. Ottio got it over the line. What a
0:08:34 > 0:08:43chance that was. Ottio spills it. What's interesting, we were talking
0:08:43 > 0:08:48before, their two biggest players, their two centres, one of the
0:08:48 > 0:08:55Macdonald, able to climb over the top of Gareth there.He is a former
0:08:55 > 0:08:58international volleyball player, Ottio, amongst other things. Maybe
0:08:58 > 0:09:04that gives him the ability to leap. That is smart. Go to your best
0:09:04 > 0:09:09threats. You have a couple of 6-foot plus players on the fringes, kick to
0:09:09 > 0:09:16them.The referee warning O'Loughlin that he moved somebody off the mark.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19That used to be a penalty back in the day. But the referee says play
0:09:19 > 0:09:22it again.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Dragged perilously close to touch, has the sense to turn it inside, but
0:09:29 > 0:09:34he passed it out of the tackle. Really?Well, the tackle was
0:09:34 > 0:09:38complete, so isn't that a penalty for a drag? The England fans are not
0:09:38 > 0:09:44happy with James Child.I wouldn't be, either. Normally you come back
0:09:44 > 0:09:49and play the ball. The tackle cannot be complete because it is still
0:09:49 > 0:09:55moving.The ball has got to touch the ground. That is the jump by
0:09:55 > 0:10:04Ottio. He just got his toe in two release. The call by the referee on
0:10:04 > 0:10:10the English there.We bumped into Smith earlier. For the last ten
0:10:10 > 0:10:14years he has been the head of coaching the referees over here in
0:10:14 > 0:10:21the NRL.Feels like a pantomime. Look behind you, he is a couple of
0:10:21 > 0:10:26metres behind.He is. Papua New Guinea looking to attack again. In
0:10:26 > 0:10:31position. They will be drawing a bit of fuel from their confidence in the
0:10:31 > 0:10:34way they have started. They have defended well with England attacking
0:10:34 > 0:10:39well. One chance already, and another one possibly in the making,
0:10:39 > 0:10:48it is Macdonald back on the inside. Amean has been stopped. England's
0:10:48 > 0:10:56defence has been pretty good so far and it is being tested here. Inside
0:10:56 > 0:11:04again for Boas. Tackle number six is the next. Martin passes away and
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Macdonald keeps things alive. Segeyaro hits the post and it has
0:11:07 > 0:11:16been picked up so England survive. He wrote that. That is smart play.
0:11:16 > 0:11:23Excellent skill to read that and defuse it.There is a great
0:11:23 > 0:11:28atmosphere and noise inside this stadium. Just to reiterate, it is a
0:11:28 > 0:11:31very English accented atmosphere. Thousands of English men and women
0:11:31 > 0:11:35pouring into this city over the last couple of days. Every cafe and bar
0:11:35 > 0:11:43you go into, every restaurant, tonnes. Terrific shot. England will
0:11:43 > 0:11:53get the tap. Ten metres away from the Papua New Guinea line.Come on,
0:11:53 > 0:12:04boys, you have got to tap here. Great shot.Watkins will take it.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Menninger chopping him down.
0:12:16 > 0:12:28You can see how close they are. Gale again. Back out the back to Brown.
0:12:28 > 0:12:36Quick hands. Could not get there. Page intercepted and rescued Papua
0:12:36 > 0:12:41New Guinea.This is where England must be keeping composure. Because
0:12:41 > 0:12:45they will get New Guinea, but they cannot afford to keep letting them
0:12:45 > 0:12:50off the hook.Spot on. Space on both left and right. They have got
0:12:50 > 0:12:54numbers. There are going to be some opportunities.You have got to nail
0:12:54 > 0:13:03them.Chanting England England around the stadium.
0:13:07 > 0:13:14Meninga, no relation, but his dad changed the family name to Meninga.
0:13:14 > 0:13:20Terrific kick. Lucky does not bounce out of play. A great chase by Ottio.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25Papua New Guinea are living up to pre-match expectations here. They
0:13:25 > 0:13:39are providing a challenge. McGillvary striding out of tackles.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44Great support from Widdop. Up to the halfway line and reeled in by Amean.
0:13:44 > 0:13:52But they are still keeping things alive. The touch by Lo is knocked
0:13:52 > 0:13:59on.Good enterprise from England. Batman, McGilvary, breaks two and
0:13:59 > 0:14:04three tackles. Watkins on his outside. Then he is one-on-one
0:14:04 > 0:14:10against the fallback. He just has to go over the top. Lo It is not the
0:14:10 > 0:14:18tallest, just fingertips, wasn't it? It has been entertaining so far,
0:14:18 > 0:14:29hasn't it, this game? 11 minutes gone.
0:14:31 > 0:14:44Penalty England. Too much from Page. Are you taking the two?No, play on.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49Yes, make it easy. They look gassed. It has been quick for them. In their
0:14:49 > 0:14:52last three games they have had big scores. They haven't had a tough
0:14:52 > 0:14:54group to play in.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04Papua New Guinea beating Wales, USA, reasonably comfortably. They had a
0:15:04 > 0:15:09tougher game against Ireland, but they got through that one. Burgess
0:15:09 > 0:15:16has gone past. And he picks up one-handed. Trying to make something
0:15:16 > 0:15:24for himself, going right then left. Feet on the line, Papua New Guinea,
0:15:24 > 0:15:29but hands in the tackle when it was done. So a repeat.Play on, get your
0:15:29 > 0:15:35rhythm.On Gale, when he gets confused what to do, just hit your
0:15:35 > 0:15:40back rower, Burgess. It is simple, but it takes out the opposition.He
0:15:40 > 0:15:44got spooked, didn't he?Yes, and he has done it a couple of times in
0:15:44 > 0:15:45this game.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52They have numbers here. Watkins... And it is going to be yet another
0:15:52 > 0:16:00try for McGillvary. Double figures for appearances, double figures for
0:16:00 > 0:16:04tries now. Ten out of ten in both respects. And England have the lead
0:16:04 > 0:16:09with 12 minutes played.Look at the skill. The ball is out in front.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Only catch. Gives him time to deal with the past. All of the technique
0:16:13 > 0:16:17you want to see in skilful players. The other thing is stripping
0:16:17 > 0:16:21numbers. Everybody knows their role. They are not running out of each
0:16:21 > 0:16:23other's lines like they were earlier in the tournament. The big
0:16:23 > 0:16:33difference is Brown.We saw him at the evening yesterday.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38I just want to point out that passing, the way the ball is always
0:16:38 > 0:16:47out in front. The early catching. We expect elite players to do that. You
0:16:47 > 0:16:51cannot have a pass going behind you or catch it on your chest and take
0:16:51 > 0:16:55away your time.
0:17:02 > 0:17:09Meninga doing a job from an offside position. On Hodgson.He is going to
0:17:09 > 0:17:14have a talk to the captain here. That's about five penalties in a row
0:17:14 > 0:17:18there. Just trying to slow down the ruck.It looks like he winded
0:17:18 > 0:17:26Hodgson, as well. Cut him in half in the middle. Ate his porridge this
0:17:26 > 0:17:30morning. CHUCKLES
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Handled the touch pretty well. I think it has hit somebody in the
0:17:45 > 0:17:48crowd. You don't want to do that. Here comes Burgess...
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Lovely footwork as he hits the line.
0:18:02 > 0:18:13Gayle with a couple of dummies. -- Gale.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24What about that flick from Watkins. It is a second try here for
0:18:24 > 0:18:30McGillvary. The referee is going to have a look. He is going to give it.
0:18:30 > 0:18:38What a pass by Watkins and a great finish by McGilvary.Goes to the
0:18:38 > 0:18:43right side. They are looking pretty much in the sink. O'Loughlin at the
0:18:43 > 0:18:48line and Brown attracting defenders. But this is a one-on-one here.
0:18:48 > 0:18:53McGilvary just has to finish things, which is easier said than done, but
0:18:53 > 0:18:57that is the money ball. Watkins has gone in. He has flicked it all out
0:18:57 > 0:19:03there.Try number six for McGillvary, in the tournament, by
0:19:03 > 0:19:11the way. Missed it the second time. It remains 8-0.Pretty good point,
0:19:11 > 0:19:16we will show this clip again, he did not rush at all. That is
0:19:16 > 0:19:21world-class, those skills. We know that from Watkins. We know he is a
0:19:21 > 0:19:24world-class player. He backs it up with height and that bright harm
0:19:24 > 0:19:30reach. He made the point me and you that he loves playing back row. In
0:19:30 > 0:19:34NRL he plays in the middle, he plays at 13, because it gives him the
0:19:34 > 0:19:38chance to play 80 minutes and just run. Really get some time to take a
0:19:38 > 0:19:44in the game.That was a brave catch from Widdop from the kick-off.We
0:19:44 > 0:19:49just saw David made on the side. I think he has been ruled out because
0:19:49 > 0:19:58it is over 15 minutes he has been. One of their most inspirational
0:19:58 > 0:20:08players is not coming back. -- David Mead.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17The left side looking to do what the right side has been doing. But they
0:20:17 > 0:20:21are not joining the dots correctly on that occasion.As much as the
0:20:21 > 0:20:25left-hand side has been good, they have come up with three errors on
0:20:25 > 0:20:29this side. We've had it with Hodgson, Hall, and Bateman. That's
0:20:29 > 0:20:34just a lack of concentration. Maybe he is thinking it is man on man, I
0:20:34 > 0:20:38am going to have to cut it and step back in on the inside, but you need
0:20:38 > 0:20:41to catch the ball first. For an experienced player that isn't good
0:20:41 > 0:20:45enough. There is a difference between building pressure and really
0:20:45 > 0:20:54putting it on the opposition. That is where the concentration errors
0:20:54 > 0:21:02cause ill discipline in the game.I am with that one. They should be
0:21:02 > 0:21:05trying to get through this game because the next one is going to be
0:21:05 > 0:21:11a bigger challenge.McGillvary is forward, has he got there? I don't
0:21:11 > 0:21:17think he did. It is the handover. Ottio courted but he couldn't do
0:21:17 > 0:21:25anything with it. -- caught it. There must be a bit of a breeze
0:21:25 > 0:21:36because the ball is holding up, isn't it?
0:21:39 > 0:21:43The wind is picking up just a little bit. But that does not excuse that
0:21:43 > 0:21:49dropped.He was cramped at the play of the ball. Hodgson was then
0:21:49 > 0:21:55cramped. The timing was wrong. All of those little things, pick them
0:21:55 > 0:22:00up, boys.That is five errors in 23 minutes. The coach talks about never
0:22:00 > 0:22:03wanting them to get double figures, but seven is normally the most you
0:22:03 > 0:22:09want to get in a game. It'll be tricky for England not to go past
0:22:09 > 0:22:16seven from this point on.Amean is surprised he is here because of the
0:22:16 > 0:22:25injury he had to his knee. Ottio making a bit of a nuisance of
0:22:25 > 0:22:36himself. Attempted flick by Griffin. Keeps a hold of it. O'Loughlin in
0:22:36 > 0:22:39the tackle, too much from him, so penalty. It might have been a case
0:22:39 > 0:22:44of playing the ball before being able to do so, but the referee has
0:22:44 > 0:22:49given the ball to Papua New Guinea. Oh dear. He picked the wrong
0:22:49 > 0:22:57mountain to run at, Albert.I bet you are glad you picked that
0:22:57 > 0:22:58sentence. CHUCKLES
0:22:58 > 0:23:04Ten metres away. Running towards this middle of the park. It has been
0:23:04 > 0:23:12given away! Gale is away. They are chasing him. Gale has been thrown to
0:23:12 > 0:23:18the ground. Came flying out of that for a moment. England now
0:23:18 > 0:23:26progressing. Brown dodging and weaving.That is a shocker.He has
0:23:26 > 0:23:34been absolutely smashed there, Brown.He is out. There is no need
0:23:34 > 0:23:41for the second one. Might have a look at this again.He has had a
0:23:41 > 0:23:46couple of head injuries in his career, Kevin Brown. So... We always
0:23:46 > 0:24:03worry. Have a look at this. Head and shoulders. Was that Boas who came
0:24:03 > 0:24:09in? As you say, no excuse, he came in with his elbow, Boas. The job had
0:24:09 > 0:24:16already been well and truly done.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26England play on.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34Hodgson is in at Tommy Haas.
0:24:35 > 0:24:45Hodgson measures up here. -- Hodgson is in at dummy half.
0:24:49 > 0:24:58Penalty, I think, no, knock-on against Sam Burgess here. Papua New
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Guinea finding some delight in the crowd all of a sudden. There is
0:25:01 > 0:25:10quite a few of them. Yes, fair enough.Yes, that's fair enough, as
0:25:10 > 0:25:14smart as there was an arm in there, he had to keep control of that ball.
0:25:19 > 0:25:28England have it back straightaway. A couple of knocks. The first one was
0:25:28 > 0:25:35from Papua New Guinea.They are really trying to up their Mac or
0:25:35 > 0:25:43defence. They are hitting hard but they cannot back it up. -- trying to
0:25:43 > 0:25:46up their defence.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12Walmsley driving it in hard. England pulsing away. Five tries already.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16Burgess keeping the ball alive, keeping the situation alive.
0:26:16 > 0:26:21Last-gasp reach for the line. Does not quite get him where he needs to
0:26:21 > 0:26:25be, but Walmsley will fly in there... That is a big effort from
0:26:25 > 0:26:29Papua New Guinea in defence to keep that big fellow away.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Knock-on, I think. Reaching for the past.
0:26:38 > 0:26:45-- reaching for the pass. It is interesting when England go to the
0:26:45 > 0:26:57right.Gale goes really deep. Kevin has got to be moving. The ball ended
0:26:57 > 0:27:03up in front of him, across his body. We don't know what hit him earlier.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07I hope he's OK.I think he's OK now.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Here is a chance for Papua New Guinea to burn up some yardage down
0:27:13 > 0:27:23the middle. We will be seeing a lot of Lo in Super League next year.
0:27:35 > 0:27:40Albert, his brother is also in the squad but not involved today.
0:27:43 > 0:27:51That pass was well met and well-stocked. Kevin Brown underneath
0:27:51 > 0:27:57it all. Widdop with another great save.He has been pretty much Johnny
0:27:57 > 0:28:01on the spot. He has been in the right place at the right time. He
0:28:01 > 0:28:04has been reading the balls, and he read that one.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17Looking at McGillvary pass 's yardage, he's up to about 50. He has
0:28:17 > 0:28:20been well beaten by Luke Gale. I think he is the biggest maker at the
0:28:20 > 0:28:34moment with 95. -- McGillvary 's yardage. England should have it back
0:28:34 > 0:28:43here. Could not back it up but they will take the first knock-on. That
0:28:43 > 0:28:52is a try, isn't it?This is twice on play one now, Papua New Guinea from
0:28:52 > 0:28:55a scrum, and now kick return. Gloucester before he even got it to
0:28:55 > 0:29:04the defender. -- lost it before. Every single England player not in
0:29:04 > 0:29:07the scrum is standing to the left, including Burgess.
0:29:15 > 0:29:20Walmsley, I think he might have got there. The referee also thinks he
0:29:20 > 0:29:23might have got there. He thinks he has but he wants absolute
0:29:23 > 0:29:33confirmation here. Walmsley, is this his first international try, video
0:29:33 > 0:29:37referee?Just looking for grounding. You can see he is in possession
0:29:37 > 0:29:44here. The ball gets to the line. Just follow through so we can see
0:29:44 > 0:29:48the ball again. I have the decision. Go to the board.
0:29:48 > 0:29:54CHEERING Confirmation. Walmsley, third
0:29:54 > 0:29:59international appearance, first international try. England lead by
0:29:59 > 0:30:0312-0.That's just relentless. That's the difference between the teams.
0:30:03 > 0:30:13Papua New Guinea will get no rest in the middle. You take Gale off the
0:30:13 > 0:30:22field, Hill off the field, and here comes Walmsley. Or another Burgess.
0:30:22 > 0:30:31Papua New Guinea have just got to go for the full 80 minutes.
0:30:31 > 0:30:36I reckon you will get Wayne telling them to kick early. The power in the
0:30:36 > 0:30:41execution, the skill on the edges, that is not going to be good enough.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44They need to get out of their half and force some Arabs. The blueprint
0:30:44 > 0:30:49was there. -- errors.
0:30:56 > 0:31:17England allowed to keep possession. McGillvary... Forward pass. It was
0:31:17 > 0:31:23very flat. England very often flat. Be scary thing for England is, we
0:31:23 > 0:31:27talk about the completion rates in the last game, look at the replay on
0:31:27 > 0:31:37that. It is marginally forward. Most coaches want a minimum 75%
0:31:37 > 0:31:43completion rate. England are 57%. That is just not good enough. They
0:31:43 > 0:31:51are lazy errors. Dropped ball 's. Panicking around the ball.
0:32:04 > 0:32:16Baptiste winning his fifth Papua New Guinea capital today. -- cap.
0:32:16 > 0:32:24Stanton Albert drives it in. There is a real appetite for defending
0:32:24 > 0:32:35from Burgess and Graham.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41Baptiste goes down the blindside. There is a challenge on here for
0:32:41 > 0:32:53England's left side defence. There up to add.He was having a crack at
0:32:53 > 0:32:56the short side. They are well aware of that, England. They won it
0:32:56 > 0:33:02comfortably in the end.That goal-line defence has been
0:33:02 > 0:33:10outstanding all tournament. A trademark of the coach. Deny them.
0:33:10 > 0:33:15Australia have only conceded two tries in the whole tournament.
0:33:15 > 0:33:20England haven't conceded here yet. They only conceded one against the
0:33:20 > 0:33:24French, couple against the Lebanon. And only three against Australia,
0:33:24 > 0:33:28one of which was at the end of the game. They can be pretty happy with
0:33:28 > 0:33:38how things are going. I think Hudson has kicked a team-mate there. --
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Hudson.
0:33:47 > 0:33:53He is just kicked the back of Luke Gale.Ten errors in the first half
0:33:53 > 0:33:59and a completion rate of 55%. If you had here it would be pulled out by
0:33:59 > 0:34:13now! -- hair.I think Ottio might have got there! He celebrates what
0:34:13 > 0:34:18he thinks is a try. The referee deliberates with the touch judge.Is
0:34:18 > 0:34:29there a penalty involved?He says no try. Looking for the Polish. Let's
0:34:29 > 0:34:38here from the video referee. -- of the push. You can go shoulder
0:34:38 > 0:34:41to shoulder with you can't push in the way that you do there. We have
0:34:41 > 0:34:55got a decision.I hate to disappoint Papua New Guinea, who are
0:34:55 > 0:34:59celebrating, they will be disappointed here. Told you! They
0:34:59 > 0:35:04are not happy.It is the right call. You are allowed to go shoulder to
0:35:04 > 0:35:10shoulder with somebody when you are competing for the ball but you are
0:35:10 > 0:35:18not allowed to push somebody. There is a push there.There are about 50,
0:35:18 > 0:35:2860 Papua New Guinea ands down below us, and their party has started. --
0:35:28 > 0:35:33their party had started. Now it is all finished again. It was the final
0:35:33 > 0:35:37act of the first half as Watkins carries the ball out of play.
0:35:37 > 0:35:47England with three tries leading by 14-0. Great atmosphere, really
0:35:47 > 0:35:53friendly. And I think everybody inside here is enjoying this. With
0:35:53 > 0:35:56the exception, at the moment, of Papua New Guinea, were trailing by
0:35:56 > 0:36:0414-0. Without their key man, are one of the key men, David Meyler,
0:36:04 > 0:36:08knowing that to keep their dream alive of reaching their first World
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Cup semifinal, they will have to do something very special. And from an
0:36:11 > 0:36:21English point of view, Graham Noble -- Ray... They will have to do
0:36:21 > 0:36:25something special to set up what remained of this tournament?Yes,
0:36:25 > 0:36:27they will be disappointed with themselves and how they controlled
0:36:27 > 0:36:32the ball and how they have done about it. They are clearly a better
0:36:32 > 0:36:39team than Papua New Guinea. Papua New Guinea are becoming aware that.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41The coach will be disappointed about how much ball they have spilled.
0:36:41 > 0:36:51Clearly the defence is good.That is Luke Gale's kick. It flew into the
0:36:51 > 0:36:56arms of Amean. He had to, go a long way to claim that. One of the great
0:36:56 > 0:37:03names of this World Cup. Ian Millward, I think of all the
0:37:03 > 0:37:07thousands of ingots people in this stadium before the ground, yours is
0:37:07 > 0:37:09the most optimistic voice, the Australian voice, about how England
0:37:09 > 0:37:16were going to perform tonight?They have the ammunition to go deep into
0:37:16 > 0:37:21this tournament. They have size, power and skill but they have two
0:37:21 > 0:37:26improve their poor completion rate and cut out the errors.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44The ball goes to ground. You will have noticed that James Roby is on
0:37:44 > 0:37:49the field. He picks it up and looks to return it with interest. Ottio
0:37:49 > 0:37:57had him. But he was shaken off momentarily. It is a new set. A new
0:37:57 > 0:38:00set six.
0:38:05 > 0:38:16Baptiste was onto Sam Burgess.
0:38:16 > 0:38:24Back to James Roby. A dummy thrown by Luke Gale. As he thrown himself
0:38:24 > 0:38:32over the line? Not quite. Off they go! Quickly! What is that for?
0:38:32 > 0:38:40Forward pass.They caught Papua New Guinea cold there. Graham was in.
0:38:40 > 0:38:46I'm going to make another statement here. When Roby comes on the field
0:38:46 > 0:38:49everything is pretty simplified. You pass the ball off the ground. The
0:38:49 > 0:38:59halves need early ball. That is forward.Brown is the man who has
0:38:59 > 0:39:01come off. James Roby on.
0:39:11 > 0:39:22Minoga is tackled. Griffin. Played in the 2008 World Cup. You may
0:39:22 > 0:39:26remember him. All three games against England, Australia and New
0:39:26 > 0:39:30Zealand. That was the group of death. Papua New Guinea did not get
0:39:30 > 0:39:41out of it.He protect himself well there. Dropped to the floor. If he
0:39:41 > 0:39:45had caught that on the full it would have wiped the heck out of him.More
0:39:45 > 0:39:59pressure on the kicker. Escort them off the ball.
0:40:04 > 0:40:20Sam Burgess lasted. Simple not gone, the referee says. -- lost it.We
0:40:20 > 0:40:24raved about Widdop last week in relation to his attacking power, his
0:40:24 > 0:40:29timing and is tempo. He has come up with some big plays defensively
0:40:29 > 0:40:35today.Yes, that is as good as a try, isn't it?
0:40:41 > 0:40:47Just under shadows at the moment. Literally and metaphorically as far
0:40:47 > 0:40:51as PNG are concerned.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06Ottio was matched there. They are on the final play. Bolus a little
0:41:06 > 0:41:14clumsy. Wasn't sure what he was going to do. Roby picks it up.
0:41:14 > 0:41:21Graham is there. And England back with the ball.If you can handle the
0:41:21 > 0:41:33run from Papua New Guinea, you can give you line intact. -- your line.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37They will struggle to regroup on this defensive set. They can't get
0:41:37 > 0:41:39back onside.
0:41:48 > 0:42:00They have a couple of tackles before they have do think about the kick.
0:42:02 > 0:42:11Watkins... He is entangled. McDonald all over him. Belatedly the referee
0:42:11 > 0:42:21says that was a knock-on. Another mistake for you there.They'd be
0:42:21 > 0:42:26doing your head in if you're coaching England at the moment.
0:42:26 > 0:42:41Where is the error?There isn't one. What country is that ref from?
0:42:41 > 0:42:45Officially England have now made 13 errors and Papua New Guinea only
0:42:45 > 0:42:59six.What a hit by Burgess.They have got that in them. A passout
0:42:59 > 0:43:06left... He would've expected and hoped for a better. Ryan Hall.Rocks
0:43:06 > 0:43:12and diamonds from Sam Burgess. He smashed the air out of New Guinea.
0:43:12 > 0:43:18Big praise for that. Let's look of the quality of the pass. Here is the
0:43:18 > 0:43:24first one. Get that in you. He drops the ball. England get the ball,
0:43:24 > 0:43:32attacking position. Sam Burgess on the fly straightaway.He has not had
0:43:32 > 0:43:35many opportunities, Ryan Hall, in this World Cup.
0:43:43 > 0:43:53Nobody there. How loose was that? Ain't together back. -- England get
0:43:53 > 0:43:58it back. The message that they has been leading the no more than good
0:43:58 > 0:44:03enough to beat PNG, but I don't think tongue are certainly
0:44:03 > 0:44:08Australia, whoever they meet in the semifinal...
0:44:08 > 0:44:11And attempted break year. Suddenly England are looking at the back of
0:44:11 > 0:44:17bolus. Widdop makes the tackle. They may have been a hint of an
0:44:17 > 0:44:22obstruction in the build-up. Everybody is happy. Back to Ottio.
0:44:22 > 0:44:41Amean... 12 yards away. Baptiste... Segeyaro. Loads of tackles in the
0:44:41 > 0:44:46bag for PNG. They can lay siege if they like. Segeyaro... James Graham
0:44:46 > 0:45:02pulls in them. -- pulls down. Some indecision by Gribben. -- Griffin.
0:45:02 > 0:45:06The pass was meant for Amean. He wasn't expecting it. England get it
0:45:06 > 0:45:13back. And Roby, five metres out, no advantage. England can't keep doing
0:45:13 > 0:45:19this to themselves. Clearly they -- clearly we are hoping they flick a
0:45:19 > 0:45:25switch. Sometimes when you play in a team below average, you see
0:45:25 > 0:45:28opportunities and you try to push the ball. But they have had to
0:45:28 > 0:45:41defend real well on the back of the breaks.I hate to harp on about the
0:45:41 > 0:45:43kangaroos and on how you go about your business. There is a different
0:45:43 > 0:45:51mentality. They are quite prepared to kick the ball downfield.
0:46:09 > 0:46:14Great clearing run. England back to the halfway line.How good have the
0:46:14 > 0:46:20England wings been in this tournament, both of them?Good
0:46:20 > 0:46:24off-load by Roby. Good vision. Currie with the cats. Ben Currie
0:46:24 > 0:46:31scorers! That will be a popular try in the camp.Great vision by Gareth
0:46:31 > 0:46:39Widdop. Brilliant. Great touch on the kick. Brilliant.It is Coldplay
0:46:39 > 0:46:53what you see? How Inc -- easily are England getting out of their half?
0:46:53 > 0:46:57Widdop has seen these bays. He knew there was no full-back. He has got a
0:46:57 > 0:47:05great kicking game.
0:47:09 > 0:47:15The simplest kick of the day from Gareth Widdop. It takes to two out
0:47:15 > 0:47:22of four. It takes England to a 20 point lead. It is no longer about
0:47:22 > 0:47:29the result. We know the result, surely. It is now about performance.
0:47:29 > 0:47:33Happy to report that Kevin Brown is back down on the bench. But I don't
0:47:33 > 0:47:43think you will be playing again. For the rest of this game at least. Good
0:47:43 > 0:47:49carry out by Sam Burgess. We have not seen that Cherry bonnet for a
0:47:49 > 0:47:56while. Whitehead has got support. He couldn't connect. Another England
0:47:56 > 0:48:08mistake.It is yet another mistake but I can live with that. If he
0:48:08 > 0:48:18executes that pass it is a try.
0:48:23 > 0:48:36Page plays for the burly bears these days. 1999, Great Britain stumbled
0:48:36 > 0:48:42to victory against them. Do you remember that?A one handed pick-up
0:48:42 > 0:48:58of the floor. Boas to Aiton. Into the corner! Gary Lu is over to
0:48:58 > 0:49:03score. It paints a picture of the light for the PNG supporters. There
0:49:03 > 0:49:09will be Castleford fans smiling about. Garry Lo, giving -- given one
0:49:09 > 0:49:12chance, has taken it exquisitely well.They have taken the
0:49:12 > 0:49:18opportunities. Elliott Whitehead jumps over the line to try to solve
0:49:18 > 0:49:23a problem body gives -- you create another one. He gives Garry Lo an
0:49:23 > 0:49:27opportunity to go into the corner. We have seen all year with Sheffield
0:49:27 > 0:49:36that he will score.The conversion attempt now. A relative newcomer to
0:49:36 > 0:49:44the scene. As he found his kicking boots? Oh, yes. You bet he has.
0:49:44 > 0:49:50Terrific from the sidelines. 20-6. They are given some hope. They are
0:49:50 > 0:49:57given something to cling onto, PNG. They are still three scores back.
0:49:57 > 0:50:07But it lingers. What is the Tongan coach thinking about this? We saw
0:50:07 > 0:50:11the fantastic performance they put on against New Zealand. Then a
0:50:11 > 0:50:16rather flat performance against Lebanon.You best believe they will
0:50:16 > 0:50:22be up for next week.The Tongan supporters are fantastic. They sing
0:50:22 > 0:50:30their hymns on the terraces. The England fans are here en masse. It
0:50:30 > 0:50:34will be a great occasion. Here is McGilvray. Off goes Kallum Watkins.
0:50:34 > 0:50:41Is he going to be caught? No, he's not. McDonald can't get close.
0:50:41 > 0:50:49Kallum Watkins get over the line. Up with a grin. McGillvary, try scorer
0:50:49 > 0:50:53in the first-half, is trite creator in the second.If I was Wayne
0:50:53 > 0:50:58Bennett I would take McGillvary of the pitch, wrapped him in cotton
0:50:58 > 0:51:03wool and resting next week. Has been sensational. He has been
0:51:03 > 0:51:09unstoppable. A bit of fatigue in the PNG can. All he needs is a support
0:51:09 > 0:51:15player.That is a great credit to Kallum Watkins. That is a couple of
0:51:15 > 0:51:19times today he has anticipated McGilvray is going to break. He has
0:51:19 > 0:51:27made the effort to push up.That's what makes it a little bit
0:51:27 > 0:51:32frustrating. As me and Ian are trying to explain how England could
0:51:32 > 0:51:38make it easier, what the back three is doing is laying out an
0:51:38 > 0:51:47unbelievable platform. Find a bit more structure and a bit more shape.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50Whitehead underneath that. We doesn't quite get there. Watkins
0:51:50 > 0:51:58does. Safely. -- he doesn't quite get there. It is a penalty. The
0:51:58 > 0:52:07touch judge has given that. Hopefully you see that. Jermaine
0:52:07 > 0:52:12McGillvary now top of the table, world Cup running metres. Hopefully
0:52:12 > 0:52:19you have got it on your screen. No one has gone more metres than
0:52:19 > 0:52:30Jermaine McGillvary at this entire World Cup.
0:52:40 > 0:52:47Down the right-hand side from Minoga! He goes into score. They cut
0:52:47 > 0:52:51England in two. Did they do it illegally? I think we are looking at
0:52:51 > 0:52:55obstruction. Looking for the obstruction. Let's here from the
0:52:55 > 0:53:08video referee.The lead runner is coming through there. He goes back
0:53:08 > 0:53:21in the hole. Just one more time mate, please.
0:53:21 > 0:53:29He comes back in there. Contact on the outside right shoulder. He comes
0:53:29 > 0:53:32back through that same hole. We have a decision. We are going to be
0:53:32 > 0:53:42bored.No try, twice. The first-half and now the second half.A good
0:53:42 > 0:53:47decision from the video referee. For our viewers at home, Ben Currie
0:53:47 > 0:53:53would have filled the hole the attacking player went through. So
0:53:53 > 0:54:06clearly adjudicated that he was impeded.Nine minutes remaining.
0:54:07 > 0:54:10England looking to fill their boots in these last moment of this
0:54:10 > 0:54:18quarterfinal. -- last moments.
0:54:34 > 0:54:46The last play. A kick draws the right-hand side. Watkins! He dies
0:54:46 > 0:54:51in, he thinks, to score. The referee again just once a second view. I
0:54:51 > 0:54:55think this is certainly a Kallum Watkins drive. They have to make
0:54:55 > 0:55:05sure.Nice and slow, nice and slow. And got something from the corner? A
0:55:05 > 0:55:13better shot. Feet still in the air. Ball down. OK. Good decision. Go to
0:55:13 > 0:55:20the board.Set your alarm clocks. We're off to Auckland last week on
0:55:20 > 0:55:23the back of a second Kallum Watkins drive. It is looking more clear now
0:55:23 > 0:55:33for England. 30-6. The kick to come. Not exactly smiles on faces but some
0:55:33 > 0:55:38satisfaction from this job today. Yeah, they will be pleased they are
0:55:38 > 0:55:49flying to Auckland tomorrow. How much more entertaining has the video
0:55:49 > 0:55:55ref made the game.In the old days, if any part of your body touched the
0:55:55 > 0:56:00corner of the posted was no try. If he touched the corner post before
0:56:00 > 0:56:04you put the ball down. Now it does not come into play. It all matters
0:56:04 > 0:56:10that you stay in the build-up play. That has gone wide. It took us 100
0:56:10 > 0:56:14years to actually get the technology to judge it. Back in the day it
0:56:14 > 0:56:17would have been a man with cine film and we would have been waiting two
0:56:17 > 0:56:21weeks. Sometimes watching the video ref it feels like waiting two weeks
0:56:21 > 0:56:27anyway.If it had been no try, it would've been a penalty doing and
0:56:27 > 0:56:32anywhere. When they kicked, the defender contested the body in air.
0:56:32 > 0:56:35As we saw earlier, you cannot contest on the player is in the air
0:56:35 > 0:56:44to catch the ball. -- when the players in the air.Walmsley tearing
0:56:44 > 0:56:50a hole through the middle. He could not get the ball away. He is a big
0:56:50 > 0:56:54character who has caught the eye of some in the NRL in the last week,
0:56:54 > 0:57:03the last month. Watkins can't get it. It is a penalty. Offside.
0:57:03 > 0:57:12England penalty.I have just seen Ian looking at the completion rates.
0:57:12 > 0:57:15I think sometimes when we get a little bit negative it is not
0:57:15 > 0:57:19because we want to be negative. We expect this team to go deeper. We
0:57:19 > 0:57:23have always said we think they will make the final against Australia.
0:57:23 > 0:57:28They are a very, very talented team. If they put together, there is no
0:57:28 > 0:57:32reason they can't win this World Cup.Maybe the encouragement is the
0:57:32 > 0:57:39fact they haven't put together. If they had won the first game in style
0:57:39 > 0:57:44and gone down the slopes since we would been worried. James Roby was
0:57:44 > 0:57:50held up. They have to go back to play the ball again.
0:57:58 > 0:58:07Sean O'Loughlin at dummy have. Sam Burgess... Three minutes remaining.
0:58:07 > 0:58:14England looking for a last, last left. O'Loughlin. Luke Gale. Tracked
0:58:14 > 0:58:27all the while by Minoga. Last play. Not gone. England will get it back.
0:58:27 > 0:58:30Widdop has thrown it to the man he thought was there. I don't think it
0:58:30 > 0:58:38will matter. They get the advantage. England will feed into the scrum.
0:58:38 > 0:58:47Job done for England. A big game. A big game next week. Big-game! Brian
0:58:47 > 0:58:54Noble is pointing me in the ribs! Big game next week. What a sea of
0:58:54 > 0:58:57red it will be.We're really looking forward to that. It was planned out
0:58:57 > 0:59:01to be New Zealand against England. That is what the form book
0:59:01 > 0:59:05suggested. At this World Cup is not necessarily been about form books.
0:59:05 > 0:59:15They have enjoyed themselves, the Papua New Guinea fans. Now a chance
0:59:15 > 0:59:25for a Ryan Hall! He finishes things off on the left-hand side. That
0:59:25 > 0:59:28Roses match try scoring ratio a little good. 35 international
0:59:28 > 0:59:35appearances. That is his 34th international try. They put all
0:59:35 > 0:59:40their numbers from the scrum. Widdop's ability to stand the
0:59:40 > 0:59:44defender up and go to the outside. You can't give these wingers have a
0:59:44 > 0:59:57chance. They are very acrobatic.The kick from Gareth.He has minded.
0:59:57 > 1:00:04What's this try again. Some of the attributes that Gareth Widdop has.
1:00:04 > 1:00:08He has time with the ball. Lomax, when he gets the ball, he doesn't
1:00:08 > 1:00:15have that same sort of evasion and awareness and tempo in his run. Look
1:00:15 > 1:00:17at Stefan Ratchford, in international rugby league he
1:00:17 > 1:00:21doesn't have the physicality. He gets rag doll a little bit. He seems
1:00:21 > 1:00:26to be a little bit height but when he gets the ball. You can't change
1:00:26 > 1:00:38Gareth.
1:00:38 > 1:00:39If an in house vote.
1:00:45 > 1:00:49Many thousands of England fans inside the arena. England winners by
1:00:49 > 1:00:4936-6.
1:00:49 > 1:00:54inside the arena. England winners by 36-6. We are in the semifinals.
1:00:54 > 1:00:58That's what we wanted to do, we wanted to get the final and win, but
1:00:58 > 1:01:03it's that process and we are one step closer.In patches I thought we
1:01:03 > 1:01:08were OK. Good defensively as a team. They are physical. They are a good
1:01:08 > 1:01:15team. The challenge in a lot of ways. Our best bit was defence, but
1:01:15 > 1:01:19lots to work on in attack.
1:01:22 > 1:01:28Maybe we were ready for a fall and today was the day. We've got to get
1:01:28 > 1:01:31rid of this one pretty quickly. We've done a lot of good things in
1:01:31 > 1:01:38this tournament, so I think we will move on quickly, carry it on in
1:01:38 > 1:01:41Auckland.Congratulations on your first international try. How did it
1:01:41 > 1:01:47feel?Nice moment. It's always a nice thing to do. Especially on an
1:01:47 > 1:01:53international stage. It's a really nice feeling.Your back three were
1:01:53 > 1:01:57immense today, weren't the? Outstanding, I thought. Turning a
1:01:57 > 1:02:01lot of ball over. We did it a bit in the second half. I thought the back
1:02:01 > 1:02:06three got us out of some tough situations and put us into some good
1:02:06 > 1:02:09positions to play the ball.Still not the complete performance from
1:02:09 > 1:02:15us, especially in attack. We held on well. Something to work on. Still a
1:02:15 > 1:02:24lot of improvement.McGillvary is so good at carrying. He put me in a
1:02:24 > 1:02:28couple of good situations, as well as himself. It's a great win.
1:02:28 > 1:02:33Semifinals. Really excited. We will continue the journey.We just kept
1:02:33 > 1:02:37dropping the ball. They were good enough to put the point on.
1:02:37 > 1:02:40Especially a class team like England, you got to hold the ball
1:02:40 > 1:02:45and we didn't do that.Is it one of the most physical games you've ever
1:02:45 > 1:02:50played?They are a good team. Certainly a tough game today.Going
1:02:50 > 1:02:53into a World Cup semifinal you cannot afford to have that many
1:02:53 > 1:02:53into a World Cup semifinal you cannot afford to have that many
1:02:53 > 1:02:57mistakes in your game. Just mistakes at crucial times. Lots of mistakes
1:02:57 > 1:02:58done this and
1:02:58 > 1:03:00at crucial times. Lots of mistakes done this and when we were trying to
1:03:00 > 1:03:04score points. It lets the pressure of them are little bit. A lot of
1:03:04 > 1:03:07rectified. Having said that I'm sure there are a lot of positives. You
1:03:07 > 1:03:12cannot get disheartened, through to the semifinals, so we will be
1:03:12 > 1:03:18positive about that.We are going up against a tough side in Tonga. It
1:03:18 > 1:03:22will test us and ask a lot of us.We managed to score 36 points on a good
1:03:22 > 1:03:28completion rate. We have to close up the completion rate. We know we need
1:03:28 > 1:03:35to get better. But we need to do well in Auckland in order to get to
1:03:35 > 1:03:38Brisbane, so we shall find out tomorrow.
1:03:38 > 1:03:42STUDIO: What do you make of that? Some positives for England. When
1:03:42 > 1:03:47they want to be the dangerous with the ball. I think McGillvary is in
1:03:47 > 1:03:51exceptional form. Sean O'Loughlin, as well. Frustrating they came up
1:03:51 > 1:03:54with so many errors. But to get the win and get through to the semifinal
1:03:54 > 1:03:59was what was important and they did that.Plenty of positives. I know
1:03:59 > 1:04:03there were errors. In the live game we focused on those and we will look
1:04:03 > 1:04:08back at them as well in a moment. But there were plenty of positives.
1:04:08 > 1:04:11We are naturally pessimistic in this country. We are always looking for
1:04:11 > 1:04:16faults. There were faults. But you've got to be optimistic now. To
1:04:16 > 1:04:20put in a performance that wasn't clinical, I think we can all agree
1:04:20 > 1:04:24with that, and still be good enough to dominate that, and show England
1:04:24 > 1:04:28are a very good team. I've heard a lot of people talking about England
1:04:28 > 1:04:32being world-class. They are on the cusp of that. If they can put in
1:04:32 > 1:04:35that 80 minute performance I think they are world-class and they can go
1:04:35 > 1:04:47and win that.Kevin?When you look at the past in front of us now --
1:04:47 > 1:04:50path in front of us, we are making errors but we are good enough to
1:04:50 > 1:04:54defend them at the moment. That is a huge positive for us. Our defence is
1:04:54 > 1:05:04outstanding. They scored one try against us. We are in a good place.
1:05:04 > 1:05:07This is probably, realistically, can we fix all of those errors before
1:05:07 > 1:05:15next week? I'm not sure we can. I think we will beat Tonga. The
1:05:15 > 1:05:19Australians, that's a different type of game for us and we need to
1:05:19 > 1:05:22improve for them. At the minute we are onwards and upwards.Kallum
1:05:22 > 1:05:29Watkins got man of the match. McGillvary is, for you, and a lot of
1:05:29 > 1:05:36people player of the tournament, right?For those people who think
1:05:36 > 1:05:43wingers does therefore one thing, that's not true. He's big, balanced,
1:05:43 > 1:05:46strong, and benefits from Watkins's exceptional play to score tries,
1:05:46 > 1:05:54too. Wood, Watkins, and McGillvary, two big scores in the corner. This,
1:05:54 > 1:06:03for me, is the point of difference. -- Widdop, Watkins. They were
1:06:03 > 1:06:09breaking out really quickly after big yardage.When you look back, you
1:06:09 > 1:06:14will think that is when I was at my best. He is having that time now.
1:06:14 > 1:06:19And it's in a rugby league World Cup. He is going into a semifinal.
1:06:19 > 1:06:23His reputation could go through the roof over the next couple of weeks.
1:06:23 > 1:06:31To be in this format have the ability to do is superb.I don't
1:06:31 > 1:06:32want to be pessimistic. CHUCKLES
1:06:32 > 1:06:35When you say in the form of his life, all of the attention on him,
1:06:35 > 1:06:41player of the tournament, that makes you a target, doesn't it, at the
1:06:41 > 1:06:45same time?I think so, but teams are already targeting him. We have
1:06:45 > 1:06:50talked up for the Australian team. So have Australia. And he keeps
1:06:50 > 1:06:57delivering. He keeps turning it on for us. For England, one to 17,
1:06:57 > 1:07:02everybody performed. We have shown how we play and who needs to fit
1:07:02 > 1:07:06into what sorts will stop we all agree, McGillvary has been
1:07:06 > 1:07:16outstanding. -- into what slots. Australia -- Australia will target
1:07:16 > 1:07:21us in a certain way, but I think we will handle it.Ryan Hall is the
1:07:21 > 1:07:26leading try scorer for England. Give him half a chance he will take that
1:07:26 > 1:07:29opportunity. You can target McGillvary, but we can go down the
1:07:29 > 1:07:33left edge, as well.England are dangerous with the ball but they
1:07:33 > 1:07:35need to retain possession to be genuinely threatening against
1:07:35 > 1:07:42Australia. The biggest problem for England was unforced errors. Not
1:07:42 > 1:07:48from overplaying.Lapse of concentration?Wayne Bennett said
1:07:48 > 1:07:53that, yes, it is the discipline about making the right pass
1:07:53 > 1:07:58selection. At times England would scratch you with the ball. There
1:07:58 > 1:08:02were errors. 20 in a game is too many. You won't beat Australia with
1:08:02 > 1:08:11that many.We went for the uppercut too many times. We lacked a bit of
1:08:11 > 1:08:14patience. We needed to jab a bit. If England have that patients they have
1:08:14 > 1:08:21the ability to put any team to bed. Dennis Betts, after the match, you
1:08:21 > 1:08:27know, lapses of concentration might be less prevalent in a final against
1:08:27 > 1:08:32Australia when there is so much on the line. And maybe, you know, they
1:08:32 > 1:08:35are more understandable in a quarterfinal against Papua New
1:08:35 > 1:08:41Guinea.Without a doubt. We've done a lot today. 36-6. We would have
1:08:41 > 1:08:45taken that before the game. We are a decent squad. We are not making too
1:08:45 > 1:08:51many errors. I think we can fix some of those. I don't think it is from
1:08:51 > 1:08:55overplaying, it is just down to some basic concentration at times. I
1:08:55 > 1:08:58think we can fix that up. While we are defending like we are we have a
1:08:58 > 1:09:03great opportunity.There is an element of, when you are in a game
1:09:03 > 1:09:06like that, Papua New Guinea were guilty of errors, you get dragged
1:09:06 > 1:09:10into that style of game. The next two weeks for England, it is going
1:09:10 > 1:09:14to be a lot more disciplined, just by the very fact they are playing
1:09:14 > 1:09:18better side in Tonga and Australia. I think that will benefit England,
1:09:18 > 1:09:23playing against great sides.Because you become more disciplined?Yes.
1:09:23 > 1:09:28When there is a matter of quality, you are forced to execute better
1:09:28 > 1:09:33plague, and I think England will be. Friday's game between Australia and
1:09:33 > 1:09:35Samoa now.
1:09:39 > 1:09:49Last tackle. It's on the ground. Holmes picks it up. First try to
1:09:49 > 1:10:02kangaroos, the lead by 4-0. Robert skidding into the corner. It gets a
1:10:02 > 1:10:09good bounce. How did he do that? You have worn the number one jumper for
1:10:09 > 1:10:14the Australians, how did he manage that? Here they come back, the
1:10:14 > 1:10:21kangaroos. They are going to go 90 metres. The chase is on. Does Holmes
1:10:21 > 1:10:25have the legs? He dives into the corner and get there. All because of
1:10:25 > 1:10:31the great work of Billy Slater. Holmes gets a double. Go back and
1:10:31 > 1:10:46thank your fallback. The goal is only one metre away. -- full-back.
1:10:46 > 1:10:55He's only five metres away. Billy Slater has set the last one up on
1:10:55 > 1:11:04the school. -- Billy Slater has set the last one up and he scores the
1:11:04 > 1:11:05third.
1:11:07 > 1:11:16Slater looking for the double. Morgan puts the foot to the floor
1:11:16 > 1:11:21and he scores. They held off Michael Morgan. The off-load, back on the
1:11:21 > 1:11:31inside, and Morgan gets the Australians try number four. Smith
1:11:31 > 1:11:37kicking for Cooper Cronk, but it doesn't matter, Morgan is there to
1:11:37 > 1:11:46score the try. Billy Slater with the pass to Holmes, who gets himself a
1:11:46 > 1:11:51hat-trick. Valentine Holmes, once again the delivery from Billy
1:11:51 > 1:12:01Slater.
1:12:08 > 1:12:21There is the pass back to homes and he has got himself four. -- Holmes.
1:12:21 > 1:12:29Holmes Joins the four try club at the World Cup.
1:12:36 > 1:12:42Holmes As one to beat. He has become the first player in history to score
1:12:42 > 1:12:47five tries at the Rugby league World Cup. The Australians are through to
1:12:47 > 1:12:49the semifinals.
1:13:04 > 1:13:14A lovely play on the right edge from Tonga. Great skill and awareness.
1:13:25 > 1:13:34Beautifully set up by Mitchell Moses. Robbie Farah was nice and
1:13:34 > 1:13:50deceptive on the edge. Not a lot of room. Great skill, great poise, and
1:13:50 > 1:13:57a great finish.
1:14:03 > 1:14:22Tonga are in again. Straight in the hands of their experienced player.
1:14:33 > 1:14:42Where the first to the ball? It looks like the world. -- were they
1:14:42 > 1:14:57first. What about that!
1:14:59 > 1:15:11Looking threatening with the ball, Lebanon.
1:15:19 > 1:15:28They have a chance on the right-hand side... Did he get it down? He
1:15:28 > 1:15:37celebrates like he has. If there is one player who deserves a try it is
1:15:37 > 1:15:43Miski. Nice build-up from Lebanon on. Moses turns the ball on the
1:15:43 > 1:15:46inside. There it is. The combination of Robbie Farah and Mitchell Moses
1:15:46 > 1:15:53creating magic.
1:16:02 > 1:16:07He stops there on that line. 18 has to adjust and get across to him.
1:16:07 > 1:16:11Therefore I am going to overturn this. I am overturning the decision,
1:16:11 > 1:16:14yes.
1:16:17 > 1:16:29Penalty. The experienced Manu.He gets the penalty. The line all over
1:16:29 > 1:16:32him.
1:16:44 > 1:16:50The break from Robbie Farah. He gets the return ball and he is looking
1:16:50 > 1:17:00for options. Here come Lebanon on...
1:17:13 > 1:17:18Elias and Miski, sensational try!
1:17:21 > 1:17:30The last tackle now on this set. Wiliame is through. He could go all
1:17:30 > 1:17:37the way. He has lost it over the line. Oh! Showing for Wiliame. Fiji
1:17:37 > 1:17:42are trying to claim it here.His store has possession at this point,
1:17:42 > 1:17:49still has possession... -- he still has.It won't be allowed, but that
1:17:49 > 1:18:01was a stunning run. Here comes Ashton Sims. Penalty to Fiji. Right
1:18:01 > 1:18:11in front of the posts. They are going to kick for ball. Topalov
1:18:11 > 1:18:26laying down the law -- Taupau laying down the law. The penalty to Fiji.
1:18:26 > 1:18:272-0.
1:18:30 > 1:18:40Johnson ends the set again with a high kick. It's taken. It has gone
1:18:40 > 1:18:55against Fiji. So, Johnson is going to line up this attempt. A simple
1:18:55 > 1:19:05one. Easy for Johnson's calibre. Delivered inside right pole.
1:19:07 > 1:19:18Fiji again attack.
1:19:18 > 1:19:22Hayne, short one this time. Denied for the second time in this match.
1:19:31 > 1:19:36Kikau, has he lost the ball? I think he has. Offside play against New
1:19:36 > 1:19:40Zealand.The tart has
1:19:41 > 1:19:54-- the touch has come after the call.This is handy enough. He makes
1:19:54 > 1:19:57a mistake. Fiji reclaim the lead.
1:20:00 > 1:20:10One more opportunity. I think Hayne will bang this into touch, he
1:20:10 > 1:20:13doesn't!
1:20:15 > 1:20:24Tuivasa-Sheck is in serious trouble. New Zealand have 98 metres to go.
1:20:27 > 1:20:34Fiji about to post a famous victory. Johnson with a Hail Mary kick. It
1:20:34 > 1:20:45has been picked up by Naiqama. PTR into the semifinals. A famous
1:20:45 > 1:20:51victory here. Extraordinary match. -- Fiji into the semifinals. Amazing
1:20:51 > 1:20:56scenes here. Fiji will play Australia in the semifinals at a
1:20:56 > 1:20:59tournament that started so promisingly for New Zealand. It has
1:20:59 > 1:21:05ended in disaster. Fiji win this 4-2.
1:21:07 > 1:21:09STUDIO: The semifinal line-up is complete.
1:21:25 > 1:21:26Do you
1:21:26 > 1:21:33Do you like the fact that one of the big three is not in the semifinals?
1:21:33 > 1:21:39Does that show a positive future for the game?I think it shows
1:21:39 > 1:21:44progression. We wanted to see that it was more than the big three that
1:21:44 > 1:21:49could challenge. I think we've seen that. Fantastic result for Fiji. A
1:21:49 > 1:21:53fantastic result for international rugby league. Everybody will be keen
1:21:53 > 1:21:57to see how things go against Australia for them. We've seen them
1:21:57 > 1:22:00cope defensively. We've always thought that about some of these
1:22:00 > 1:22:04teams, could Fiji defend well enough to progress against the big side?
1:22:04 > 1:22:08They have shown that they can.It would be shot of all shocks if they
1:22:08 > 1:22:13beat Australia.Yes. If I'm not wrong, I think the last two World
1:22:13 > 1:22:17Cup they've made a semifinals and been beaten by Australia, so, third
1:22:17 > 1:22:20time lucky! CHUCKLES
1:22:20 > 1:22:27Said he and hope.I think the Pacific Islands and all of the small
1:22:27 > 1:22:34nations are benefiting from the NRL and the commercial success NRL is.
1:22:34 > 1:22:36It is thriving over there. We've seen how important those islands are
1:22:36 > 1:22:45to feel the NRL competition. -- fuel the NRL competition. We need to
1:22:45 > 1:22:50start doing that, getting young kids in Ireland, Scotland, and Wales
1:22:50 > 1:22:55playing rugby league, let's use them as a resource.What England have to
1:22:55 > 1:23:01do against Tonga in your opinion? Hold the ball ultimately. We've
1:23:01 > 1:23:07talked about that, about England's performances, they've dropped too
1:23:07 > 1:23:10much ball. It is potentially an Achilles' heel of the England side
1:23:10 > 1:23:15if they do that. Tonga are big, strong, athletic. If you give them
1:23:15 > 1:23:19the ball they will be too big, strong and powerful. You keep the
1:23:19 > 1:23:26ball away from them they will be too small.And ultimately too tired. If
1:23:26 > 1:23:31you keep the ball you can tire them out.Starve them of energy by
1:23:31 > 1:23:34kicking accurately, chasing well, getting into a disciplined game with
1:23:34 > 1:23:41Tonga. Keep live ball rugby going. Against Tonga that will be crucial.
1:23:41 > 1:23:47Tonga are going to get huge support in Auckland. It is a different
1:23:47 > 1:23:51proposition to playing Papua New Guinea in a Melbourne stadium that
1:23:51 > 1:23:55is half full. I think that will add spice. England have been too
1:23:55 > 1:23:58powerful and strong. They have dominated teams with their size and
1:23:58 > 1:24:03physicality. Tonga in Auckland will be a different proposition to
1:24:03 > 1:24:08anything they have faced.From an England player 's perspective, won't
1:24:08 > 1:24:12that fire you up? That's what you want. You want a full stadium with
1:24:12 > 1:24:16passion. Even if the majority of the crowd will be against you, that will
1:24:16 > 1:24:23get the blood pumping and the juices flowing, right?I think so. We were
1:24:23 > 1:24:26expecting to play New Zealand. The fact it is Tonga, the boys will be
1:24:26 > 1:24:31fired up, they will be ready. What has happened in previous World Cups,
1:24:31 > 1:24:34the fact we've not been in a final for 22 years will drag the group
1:24:34 > 1:24:42forward. The work that has gone on in previous years, with Burnett,
1:24:42 > 1:24:47with the of this squad. I think they are ready and I think they will do
1:24:47 > 1:24:57it. -- Bennett.We'll Tonga Targett McGilvary?I think so. England look
1:24:57 > 1:25:04fit. All of the key personnel in the right positions are looking good.
1:25:04 > 1:25:08They could Targett McGilvary, and they certainly will. Ryan Hall on
1:25:08 > 1:25:14the left edge. We have quality all over the field. 80 minute
1:25:14 > 1:25:18performance for me. Kevin was right, I don't think they will get that
1:25:18 > 1:25:24next week but they need to get a 60, 65 minute performance, ready for the
1:25:24 > 1:25:35full 80 against Australia.You want to give McGilvary some special...
1:25:35 > 1:25:46The four McGilvary is in, -- the form McGilvary is in, earlier we
1:25:46 > 1:25:52were saying he is at his peak. But I think Sean O'Loughlin has been
1:25:52 > 1:25:55incredible for England.He was involved in everything good they
1:25:55 > 1:26:00did.That's right. Every game in the World Cup has come through him in
1:26:00 > 1:26:06the middle of the field, that guy, Sean O'Loughlin.I agree. I don't
1:26:06 > 1:26:10think there was a poor England performance. We have a menu now to
1:26:10 > 1:26:15take forward. Interesting we are talking about McGilvary and possibly
1:26:15 > 1:26:24targeting O'Loughlin. For us, we need to talk about, Lolo, he played
1:26:24 > 1:26:29in the Six Nations and he ripped holes in England. The only beat us
1:26:29 > 1:26:36by a point. England are fully aware of his threat. They will try and
1:26:36 > 1:26:40take energy out of his tank, send traffic is way, make him tackle. We
1:26:40 > 1:26:48know he is fit. I think it might be a game too far for Tonga. They
1:26:48 > 1:26:54wanted to be New Zealand, they wanted their World Cup final. They
1:26:54 > 1:27:01struggled against Lebanon, I wish we were playing them next week.Don't
1:27:01 > 1:27:03get greedy. CHUCKLES
1:27:03 > 1:27:09England look fit. The longer the Tonga players have been in hotels,
1:27:09 > 1:27:12eating three course breakfasts, I just don't think it will work in
1:27:12 > 1:27:20their save at all.More sport coming up for you across the day. -- I just
1:27:20 > 1:27:24don't think it will work in their favour at all.
1:27:37 > 1:27:41If you have enjoyed our live streaming coverage of the Challenge
1:27:41 > 1:27:44Cup this season you will be pleased to know there is plenty more on the
1:27:44 > 1:27:44way.
1:28:15 > 1:28:20Thanks very much to my guests. Kevin is going out of the World Cup. Take
1:28:20 > 1:28:27that positive energy with you.I will, don't worry.Pass it onto the
1:28:27 > 1:28:30England team. We will see you next weekend goodbye.
