Well we won one of the three. Bravo to the England Wheelchair RL team. It has been a revelation to watch and has, at least, got outsiders chunnering about one form of the game.

The French coach is (quelle surprise!) whining but after a long week of having the whopper-whining of a piddle-poor Portuguese person paraded before his eyes, Bongser feels that it's a nice change! At least Sylvain is not talking about himself.
