Serbia does genuinely have its own league, though - it’s not all just Aussie grandchildren. Red Star - Craven Zvezda - have played internationally.

There has been a breakout of the international coverage for 7 or 8 minutes...

By players who actually can speak the language of the country they are plying for, that's seems about right.

Well, Samoa have just looked hopelessly under-prepared in this game...

And that's make for 3 breakouts of coverage...

Even the BBC commentators were saying the all-star Samoa team were the favourites today but England just won 60-6.

On which channels? The BBC coverage has been fine.

Very weird.  All the Samoans are top-level pros, but the played like schoolboys, so many basic mistakes.

International one (France, Australia, NZ...)

Good win by  42-8 over  but I think England were the best team of the four today.
