Shame it's still likely to be an Aussie cakewalk in the final, but hope we can give them a decent game.

Here's the last 10 minutes for anyone who missed it...

Cheers for the highlights. England were 20-0 up with 7 minutes to go and then Tonga stepped up to superhuman levels. Probably the best bit of Rugby League I have ever seen. Twas immense.

Yeah, was amazing. I heard the result and then wanted to watch the highlights. The noise from the crowd is amazing and the last part of the game was crazy... best passage of play in sports for a very long time...

After all the defections from NZ and Australia to the Tongan side (or back to them), they were realistically the 2nd or 3rd best side in the tournament. And it was effectively a home game for them, so we did well to come through it. I fear the same for the final, tome. They're just a bit too good. Jermaine McGillvary could well be player of the tournament however!

The ref for the final is an Aussie. You really couldn't use a Kiwi, no?
