    It was a pleasure to watch. England were underdogs, but went toe-to-toe with the Aussies and with just a bit of good fortune could have won.

    No disgrace in losing a match like that.

    No disgrace at all. Just surprised it was so low scoring even for a cagey affair like a final.

    Very tight game. Tackling from both sides was fierce which contributed to the low score.

    Little bit more composure in attack and we’d have won the trophy. One of the best Gb/England league performances i’ve seen!

    Very good close fought contest. Doesn't need to be loads of tries in Rugby League to make it a good game. In fact the closer games tend to be the better ones to watch.

    That was certainly a great game to watch. Had Watkins not stumbled after the ankle tap he might have gone over and momentum was definitely with England at that point of the game.

    I can't stand rugby, but to be honest I quite enjoyed that game. Watched it because it was a final. England were unlucky and the level of effort couldn't be questioned.
