The Semis should be good, this tournament needs a top class game as agree its been very weak so far.

Been some great trys

Close games don't always make good games alot are tense scrappy knock on riddled

Just looked at the rugby yawnion internationals NZ put 50 past Wales

Italy beat samoa 49-17

Hardly close teams much experienced than some international RL teams

Hammerings happen in every sport always will

I actually agree with you.Found most of it boring
Whats the point of having a World Cup when all the games except Tonga/Papua up to the semi finals are blowouts.
If England keep playing like they are the up and coming semi could also be a blow out, so what we could end up with is three competitive games in the whole competition,with the semi Australia and NZ and the final.
Certainly needs a rethink.Maybe just have three graded groups so the group stages are more competitive.That would also mean issuing very cheap tickets with free tickets for kids for group 3

Yes the organisors have been over ambitious.

In 2013 there were two strong groups of four and two weaker groups of three (groups C and D had one inter-group game)

Aus/Eng/Fiji/Ire
NZ/Samoa/Fra/PNG
Tonga/Sco/Italy
USA/Cook Is/Wales

Only four 50+ scores in the whole tournament and good attendances.

Gutted for Fiji tonight. Sat in the Fiji end of the West Stand. Felt like they went into their shells in the second half.

was great to see some of the best in the business too.

I thought Fiji was very badly done to, with that video call.
For my money it was simply a loose carry
