    What a game, ding dong, then dong again. Great to see the ball being moved quickly and effortlessly up and down the massive pitch to create scoring chances, unlike our hand pass the ball about a bit, retaining possession while the opposition get their 15 players between the ball and goal posts.

    Watched a bit of this, can’t say it wasn’t exciting. But ill never understand why they use an oval ball for a kick based game. Most of the time the players haven’t a clue which way the ball will bounce and it ends up looking sloppy and a bit of a mess.

    @Brian Dunne: their oval ball can be kicked longer and is easier to catch, apparently.
