No one should be surprised how good Lebanon are they're full of Nrl, Super League and reserve graders, they'll not an easy beat team at all, just look at there recent record especially in the last world cup they almost beat Tonga in Christchurch which was an awesome game
Lebanon did really well! Considering what the kiwis had, Lebanon played really better! Especially for a team with 12 men against a full strength and start studded kiwi side, for 20 odd minutes, Lebanon were the better side! Great work Lebanon 👍🏽👏🏽.. good win for the kiwis
I just watched the full match replay, Lebanon played really well, some tactical and skilful plays too! Hopefully they can get their fitness and ball playing on point and they'll be a tough outfit.
Yeah you're on Point ! Joey Manu scored one try and offload 2 others that lead straight to tries which were converted . If you take that 18 points away it becomes a very close game.
Just like Billy Slater who was a revelation at fullback for the Storm in the NRL, Now you see Joey playing a different role at full back becoming big physical run-meters type of fullback.
Well done Lebanon, played really well despite the score... what an awesome game of footy to watch. Be a good game against ireland! Kia kaha te kapa kiwi
Not really bro If you remember the last World Cup they almost beat Tonga. I know cause I’m Tongan an I thought WTF!! Prediction before the World Cup started kiwis and Lebanon will advance to the next round..
Note for whoever puts these packages together - what’s the point in showing somebody being sent off/sin binned if there isn’t enough video to show why! Otherwise, keep up the good work.
Seemed to me the guy in the bunker was calling the shots 🤣 and the ref wasn't too bad had a few 50/50 calls but could see he wanted to keep the game rolling at times, Lebanon are getting better. Making top 8 last tournament😎👍 #UptheKiwis 🤪
@@beianimeyah24 ,don't think Samoa or Fiji are better judging by the performances also the Kiwis didn't start playing till about 50 minutes and there were key players missing they really missed Hughes.I think Lebanon and even Ireland are better than people think however it was only the first game which means nothing
On paper, it is still officially a 2021 World Cup, was postponed to this year but still legally last year's competition. The same process in the women's rugby world cup, which is officially a 2021 event.
A rusty performance however the Kiwis didn't really start playing till about the 50 minute mark and were missing key players like Hughes.I think Lebanon and even Ireland are better than people think but it's only the first game so all good I think the Kiwis underestimated them 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿.
Halves play was abit all over the place but we should be good when hughes is back and give kris a run charnze done nothing but give away silly penalties on attack
Need to clean up the error and penalty count fellas. I'd start jwh over fisher Harris, Nikora or T. Harris over papalii, put Manu back into centre and get rid of brown and Johnson lol
The Super Stars in the Toa Samoa team can take a leaf out of the book from Lebanon. Actually I would rather have Lebanon's halves over Samoa's, Lebanons NO6 played well except for his stupid mouth getting sent off by the ref. That kicking game though was very very good.
If anyone think Lebanon are an easy team don't know to much about league, when you have proper halves and a spine that can play your team can go along way, Sorry Samoa, Fiji, Tonga, Cook Islands, Jamaica, France, Scotland, Italy, Greece, PNG and Wales will not match up with England, NZ, Australia, Ireland and Lebanon
@@pantherz9103 lol and look at the spine could go down as the oldest and slowest ever besides RTS, Nikorima and Johnson were halves and we had no Brandon Smith to top it off we had the shittest Centres in Takirangi & Beale, Blair was lock and Mannering was second rower both on their last legs end of their careers also Packer and Tapau are nothing compared to NAS, JFH, Leota and co, we still manged to only lose by a try. I know you wouldn't understand the star calibre of these players 🙄 and if JFH, Smith and proper centres played Tonga wouldn't of done shit
Great game from Lebanon. Exactly what the international rugby league game needs. Thank god Manu was on the field.
Joey Manu , absolutely amazing what the guy can do . This was definitely the Joey Manu show .
Joey manu is on crack tonight
Dna of a rooster

They are well motivated and organized.
Exactly, these aren't minnows in League
NZ played like absolute shit regardless of what Lebanon are
Well done Lebanon for putting up a fight 👏
Kudos to Lebanon, brave and didn’t give up.
NZ, you take the win but you hope to learn a lot from this game.

The commentary reminds me so much of the rugby league live games!
Good commentary in this one with Henry (or was it Robbie Hunter-) Paul as co-commentator.
We'll Done Lebanon. 👏👏👏💪
C'mon give us a replay on that Manu try !!! 🔥🔥🔥
Lebanon must be the champ of Middle East, Africa, and Asia in Rugby League.
They are!!
No one plays League in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. They are a team from the Sydney suburbs dressed as Lebanon.
Manu putting on an SBW show. Chur, chur!
Lebanon put up a great fight think the game between them and Ireland will be a really good one. 🏉
Well done Lebanon, played really well despite the score... what an awesome game of footy to watch. Be a good game against ireland! Kia kaha te kapa kiwi
Joey Manu , Joseph Sualii and James tedesco are rocking the World cup...up the CHOOKS🐓
Sualii? For letting in about 10 tries?? U must be an Englishman 😂😂
Yeah sorry for him..."I think he will do well on their next game "😂🙏💔
We need to step our game up. As a Kiwi supporter.
Bro we will get better as the comp goes on🤙🏾
Was expecting the kiwis to win by more. Great effort Lebanon 🇱🇧 👏
Well if you look at Lebanon world cup history they always been competitive side.
I love see Lebanon team i hope that Lebanese people are watching the WC
How to watch it live ?
Well done Lebanon for putting up a fight! Finally they pronounce Doueihi’s name properly 😂
Lebanon really deliver on game day
that score line doesn’t illustrate how hard it was for the kiwis to win. I think the they thought this would be easy
They didn’t, lebonon showed up even in the second half then loss momentum after the sin bin
@@beianimeyah24 100%. Got to give credit to Lebanon they were hungry. Awesome team. Awesome game.
Lebanon are better than people think even Ireland
@@beianimeyah24 why was AD sinbinned
Not really bro If you remember the last World Cup they almost beat Tonga. I know cause I’m Tongan an I thought WTF!!
Prediction before the World Cup started kiwis and Lebanon will advance to the next round..
Proud Maori here well played Lebanon 🇱🇧
Gameplan: just give Joey the ball and move out the way 🙌🏽
Lebanon did greattt
Manu was the highlights
Respect Cedars🇱🇧

#UptheKiwis 🤪
Seems like he was sent off for mouthing off, but at this stage they don't have the audio. Not much the editors could have shown, I guess.
Why have they made it hard to watch it live? not the same watching replays, don't get to see how far other countries have improved.
It looked like Manu was doing all the work lol
Joey Manu won the game for NZ Kiwis. Good game LBN
Some real slow held calls from the referee for those first 2 trys
Too right
Well done Lebanon.
We need more than 10 mins of highlights. This is too short.
Great start Lebanon! Way to go Cheiks. But Joey Manu! How good?
Where can I watch Vossy commentating?
Lebanon are 💪
Great game !!!
Awesome game by lebanon...if they can get a few more players to get nrl experience they can compete with these tier one nations.
Totally agree......🤔along with all the other tier 2 nations.. awesome for the game, awesome for the fans imo.
#UptheKiwis. 😎👍
1:29 forward pass?
So far England looks far more impressive than the Kiwis and Aussies.
Cause they been matched up with bums

You can't go all out when your pool isn't a hard one more less warm up games also don't show all of your skills .
Well done Lebanon, respect.
Manu ✊
Nz lucky some of the lebos padses didnt stick.. great side
Lebanon playing better than Samoa is really impressive.
Kiwis might need some uplifting specially coming up against aussies an the England
Hughes should make a huge difference if he's fit. Foran looked off the pace in this game.
Why is everyone posting with the headline, RWC2021 instead of RWC2022? can someone please explain?🙏🏻

Lebanon did well
Lebanon are another dark horse of the WC, though Kiwis certainly missed Jarome Hughes.
EPIC 🤛🏻👊🏻✊🏻
DWZ Is a better winger than rapana, Rapana is just a penalty magnet
Why don't yous have replays of tries, build up for tries, big moments ect.. these highlights are budget as lol..
Halves play was abit all over the place but we should be good when hughes is back and give kris a run charnze done nothing but give away silly penalties on attack
Is rugby league world always this less crowded 😂😂
Kiwis are building nicely leeessss gooooo
this is not a match highlight it Joey Manu's 😅
Was expecting 50+ from New Zealand
Do you know how good Lebanon is? lol dont underestimate the team
@@tafatapaleao4588 still lost! 😝😆
Need to play the game in Israel too............
Shambles
I'm looking forward to the Syria game. That should be a belter.

So called world cup with no crowd 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hit the road Jack! No one cares!! 😂
..LEBANON MEAN AS!!..MR. MANU MEANER!!!!..
better to play a shit game at the beginning tbh... Lebanon played awesome today..

League world cup gotta be the worst of all sporting events
Took them way too lightly. Play like this against a top tier side and we'll get destroyed
Lebanon is Australia's C Team.
All but two of the squad are Australian.
Kiwis will SMASH da Kangaroos
His name is Joseph Manu not Joeeeeeeey, just because Aussies like to drag there vowels in there pronunciation doesn't make it cool pal okaaaaaaay...
That first try is an awful call
Joey Manu needa come back to union as do all ex union players rts too old now but these guys would still make it
if the kiwis play like that they will get hammerd by aus/eng
Yeah but still early days mate 😎👍
@@ceddyspaghetti7905 sure but i feel like the kiwis this year are bit... meh
@@MrSupermugen hard out ay still… i have high hopes for them and even higher hopes for all Polynesian teams E.Y.E.S E-yes! 🤣🤣🤣
Joseph Manu should be playing for Tonga MMT his fathers heritage.
i thought manu was kuki
Hes cookie not tongan
His dad is Māori and his mum is kuki though?
"His father's heritage" 😂🤣
His dad kuki his mum maori. Hes a maori. Mums the boss😅
England game was way better than this
We just don’t care😂

Embarrassing
Useless
Boring game
Shame.

Fuck rapana is way too slow to be a international winger now days, might hurt us against better competition
🥱🥱🥱
Manu looks like a young SBW
Pretty much Lebanon got Manu’d lol
