Message: [QUOTE="Steve, post: 2158382, member: 1799"] Yeah last night was awesome. And probably the best atmosphere I've experienced at Lang Park in a long time. That haka face off - I'll never forget that moment. I'm still not convinced the international game is out of the woods just yet. Yes Australia didn't win the the cup but apart from NZ's triumph there was nothing throughout the tournament to suggest any side is consistent enough to challenge the top teams. PNG, Samoa, Tonga and the other minnows all had 1-2 good performances but nothing more. England IMO is the biggest concern. They were embarrassing and have clearly gone backwards in the last 3-4 years. There needs to be a serious post-moretom over there ASAP. It's impossible to say the day after the final if the tournament was a success. IMO we find out in a few years time if the other nations are continuing to attract young people to the game and playing consistently. The likes of PNG, Samoa, Tonga etc need to play more often. They have to play more test matches if they're going to prosper. [/QUOTE]
