2017 World Cup Week 4: Teams and Game Day

[The Greenhouse]

51st min Shocking pass from Kurt Baptiste, with PNG in the red zone. One of the few opportunities they've had in the red zone. The Kumuls have completed at 1/6 in the second half, England 2/7. It is a dropathon.

[The Greenhouse]

56th min TRY ENGLAND to Ben Currie, it is the result of a great grubber to the wing from Widdop. It is just perfect. Good work from Ryan Hall in the lead up. Gareth Widdop converts from in front.

England 20-0

Meanwhile in the Women's World Cup... New Zealand 64 lead Cook Islands 0 after 62 minutes.

[The Greenhouse]

60th min TRY PAPUA NEW GUINEA to winger Garry Lo. It looked like a forward pass live, but the referee has awarded it, no hesitation. Rhyse Martin converts from the sideline.

England 20-6

In the Women's World Cup, the Kiwi Ferns still lead 64-0 over the Cooks. There's 15 minutes remaining.

[The Greenhouse]

In the Women's World Cup...

New Zealand leads Cook Islands 70-0 after 70 minutes.

[The Greenhouse]

68th min TRY ENGLAND to Kallum Watkins! McGillvary makes the break 70 metres out and Watkins is backing up. Gareth Widdop converts from close to the posts.

England 26-6

In the Women's World Cup... New Zealand leads Cook Islands 70-0 after 73 mintues.

[The Greenhouse]

71st min TRY PAPUA NEW GUINEA to Willie Minoga. It looks like an obstruction on replay. The referee called a try on field, but it's a clear obstruction. NO TRY.

England 26-6

In the Women's World Cup... New Zealand lead Cook Islands 70-0 after 75 minutes.

[The Greenhouse]

72nd min TRY ENGLAND Great kick from Josh Hodgson, all the chasers on side. It is taken by Jermaine McGillvary out wide and he passes it back to Kallum Watkins for the four pointer. Widdop can't convert from out wide.

As they sing at Headingley. Ryan. Ryan Haaaalll.

Why does Laurie Daley ask Jim Wilson what he thinks? I don’t think he has a background in RL but he is a pretty professional host.

[The Greenhouse]

England into semis with win over PNG

England have marched into a Rugby League World Cup semi-final showdown with Tonga after an unconvincing 36-6 win over Papua New Guinea in Melbourne.

While winger Jermaine McGillvary set up the victory with two first-half tries, England coach Wayne Bennett will be fuming with his side's woeful completion rate.

ENGLAND 36 (J McGillvary 2 K Watkins 2 B Currie R Hall A Walmsley tries G Widdop 4 goals) bt PAPUA NEW GUINEA 6 (G Lo try R Martin goal) at AAMI Park. Crowd: 10,563

We are now underway at Shark Park for the final match in the Women's World Cup Round 2.

Canada Ravens V Papua New Guinea Orchids... The Ravens have the ball in the first set.

You can watch this game live on the 7Live app or at 7Live.com.au

[The Greenhouse]

11th min TRY PAPUA NEW GUINEA to centre Christie Bulhage out wide. First time that the Orchids were in position to score and they did. No conversion.

Papua New Guinea 4-0

[The Greenhouse]

26th TRY CANADA and they've converted it!

Canada 6-4

[The Greenhouse]

30th min TRY CANADA to centre Natasha Smith and she goes over for her second try of the night! Just barges over from dummy half. Scores it in identical fashion to the first. Fullback Irene Patrinos fails to convert.

Canada 10-4

[The Greenhouse]

HALF TIME

Canada Ravens 10
Papua New Guinea Orchids 4

Unexpected lead to Canada at half time, but well deserved.

[The Greenhouse]

We're back underway in the second half, the Orchids have the ball in the first set of this period.

[The Greenhouse]

44th min TRY PAPUA NEW GUINEA to winger Martha Karl, she's unmarked and the Orchids run and pass it wide on the last. Shirley Joe's conversion attempt was well, well wide.

Canada 10
Papua New Guinea 8

[The Greenhouse]

59th min TRY CANADA Great kick to the in goal from five eighth Stevi Schnoor, and it is chased and planted by half Sabrina McDaid. Terrific try and McDaid converts her own try.

Canada 16-8

[The Greenhouse]

This really has been a good game, and a very good performance from Canada. Would not have expected them to be leading by eight with a little over 10 minutes remaining.

[The Greenhouse]

76th min TRY CANADA to centre Nactasha Smith, that's a hat trick for her! That's the match to the Ravens! Who'd have thought! Irene Patrinos converts from the sideline! Perfect kick!

Canada 22
Papua New Guinea 8

Now the Orchids go for a short kick off... they're off side and it doesn't go the 10 metres.

FULL TIME

That was a very good game. It means Canada are likely to make the semi finals.

That's all we have for you today. We will be back next weekend when we will be live from Lang Park for the semi final between Australia and Fiji! Thanks for following!

Phil Rothfield having a go at Joe Tapine:

There is not a grubbier act in rugby league than attacking a defenceless opponent on the ground. Canberra Raiders and Kiwi forward Joseph Tapine tried to smash Fiji fullback Kevin Naiqama after the full-time siren in Wellington on Saturday. He needs to pull his head in.
