amen to this. Hats off to England here - especially after lunch on the last day - Collingwood and the tail batting 2 sessions to save a game is a great effort. They deserve the draw/not to lose the game.
Off topic - it kinda pisses me off that the NRL introduced 'golden point' extra time for club matches. I think a lot of teams are gutted - being equal after full time and getting nothing because someone kicks a field goal in extra time. I'd rather both teams got a point and moved on. A draw/tie is an acceptable result in sport.
