Good job the Warriors aren't playing in the World Cup then.

Excellent point.

You can sense the desperation from Gutterfax after all this pessimism and doom mongering for several months. For him and a couple of others.....England need to fail.

I said the RLWC would struggle with crowds...I was wrong. I will repeat the consumption of humble pie as required. As for England needing to fail? Makes no odds to me.....this RLWC has exceeded my expectations in certain areas and regardless of who wins, the bar has been set very high for 2017.

...2013 has gone past the 2000 total as of today.......2008 should/will fall tomorrow....and the overall record will be gone by next Sunday.


BTW.......how does my identifying the trend for Kiwi 2nd half performances make me desperate......is it not a valid observation?

The Kiwis have never had to come from behind yet so the second half stats are meaningless - yes Somoa had a better second half but they lost by 20!!

England will do well to get within 20 points of NZ, assuming we beat France.
