Awesome England, missing equipment and beautiful music

Tanya Arnold, Jon Wilkin and Steve Mascord reflect on the World Cup's opening weekend.

Tanya Arnold is joined by former England international Jon Wilkin and Australian rugby league journalist Steve Mascord to reflect on the sights and sounds of the opening weekend of the Rugby League World Cup.

England got off to a flying start at St James’ Park with a huge victory over Samoa, who many had predicted would create problems for the host nation.

Centre Kallum Watkins was one of the stars for England, and joins the team to analyse the victory and talk about life in the England camp.

Part-time Scotland head coach Nathan Graham is interviewed about his full-time job as an anaesthetist’s assistant at Bradford Royal Infirmary, and the Fiji captain Kevin Naiqama joins Tanya, Jon and Steve to discuss their spine-tingling pre-match singing, rugby league life in Fiji and the challenges they’re facing in their World Cup campaign so far.
