Aye, and how many would the mighty Australia get for a test v France when they are expect to be easybeats? Hardly an easy sell when we put a cart load of points on them a few months ago.

Lockyer has a really ho voice because he has bones and cartiliage pressing against and growing through his vocal cords. its the result of him being hit in the throat in too many tackles, He won't have an op because the Docs have said he could lose his voice altogther

How about a heavy machine gun for Full Backs. Briscoe is going to need one next week.

In OZ we had over 28,000 against the french ...Australia won 50 zip.The game was played @ parra stadium.

We have the round ball game to compete with over here though mate.

That and Australia is bloody huge.

Just like the World Cup Final

Are they playing cricket instead ?

When does the rugby start ?

The round ball game over here will never compete with RL ....

with a much smaller population though!

Wish it was the same over here then we might have a bloody chance

You could. Get Tina Turner on board.

As a Saints fan watching the game i kept my eye on Soliola and i must say, i was looking and i was liking



Monster in defence.

Irrelevant, it's hotter and has more land to throw the ball about.

Yeah he looked very good. He will go well in Super League.

He'll get taught a lesson when you play the Vikings in a friendly.........

How many at the world cup semi in Sydney? similar circumstance to england france but more riding on it for the aussies as it was a knockout game

I was there

about 16,000 i think ,i was there too...

Sadly you are mistaken pal. Slowly but surely.....

Oh I don't know. There are plenty of countries in which football has never really hit home.

just got back from the game, i was surprised that 2/3 of the stadium were kiwi, i always thought there were more Aussies in London ?

There were some huge hits out there and i fear for England against both sides.
The oz seem to be great at keeping possession and the kiwis seem to make a lot of yards when they have the ball. England will get murdered.

Sad isn't it that we're having to hope for a minor mullering and not an Epic one.

I really hope i'm wrong and made to look foolish, and that when they step out against NZ and Australia that they players will have some fire in them.

of the two i think the kiwis will give us the biggest hammering. They are a very strong side in attack and tonight were easily the better team at defending. if not for the thurston steal or the 2 point penalty that wasn't the kiwis would have shown again why they are world champions.

It ebbs and flows, sometimes there are more Kiwis, sometimes Aussies, there are always far too many Yarpies though



Mind your average Brit couldn't tell an Aussie from a Kiwi without them wearing their colours.

Took my mate to his first game tonight. Thanks to the show put on by both sides, shouldn't have too many problems getting him back for more. What a match - I also fear and England hammering from both sides...
