Just under a hour to go

. Will be good to see some RL again.Hope the English give it all they got and they're not just over here for a holiday.

Can't wait!

I remember the times when the games were played in England,and had to wake up @ 530am to watch it.But in fact could not sleep all night just in case I missed it.Crazy or what lol.Plenty of coffee did the trick.

Already on my 4th coffee, got up for the F1.

The early morning rise is a glorious thing for me IF any of the following are involved:

- golf
- fishing
- footy

And, of course, sex.





Otherwise I prefer the rest.

Golf, F1, Cricket and Rugby League are the only things i'd get up early for by choice.

Bloody hell!!!

Peacocks been playing for nearly 18000 years

For me RL and world cup soccer which only comes once in every 4 years .

slightly O/T is BBC covering all the tournament or sharing with sky??
thanks.

Why is it that NZ TV can put together a decent pre-match summary prior to an international and Australian TV cannot?

This Sky NZ summary is excellent.

See the Kiwi jersey?the all blacks lol

BBC have just got today's and tomorrows group games, not sure about the final.

It's a centenary jersey mate, same top they wore in 1910. Way before the Rah Rah All Blacks had even been dreamt about.

If England want to win, they need to pressure Hohaia at FB with the bomb.

Despite being an outstanding fullback, probably the best in the world at playing as a combined FB/half (due to his halves experience), he is suspect under the high ball if you pressure him.

So they copied us....Can't they come up with there own ...

Come on England, let's 'ave it!

looks like a decent crowd

Sure about that? The RU tourists played in all black and were called the all blacks a few years before NZRL started in 1910.

They still are mate, look at how they change their points scoring to encourage more tries, video ref, Rugby World Cup, Sin Bins, Interchange, Video Ref.......wy don't they go down to 13 players and scrap the ruck and admit League is better, rather than just evolve their boring sport into ours?

Expect Blair to play well.

cheers jonny.

Ah, now I understand. Thought we were trying to put The Kiwis off by pretending to be Oldham.

Both strips look great I must say.

White collar on the NZ jersey is the difference with the AB strip.

Will the red and white stripes help England?

Fielden has bigger moobs than me.
