I had thought that the RFL was waiting until the Exiles game was out of the way before announcing venues and tickets being put on sale. What's the hold up?

What's the rush? It's not like it's a major sporting event.

I emailed them a while back and they said that they are close to finalising fixtures - just waiting on a couple of venues

Reckon one is Wembley, trying to fit it in around the NFL weekend.

How hard can it be to arrange it on a date thats not the 23rd october. Very poor that fixtures and venues are still to be announced

Wales V Australia is to be played at Wrexham.

If that's right - YIPPEE! At least Australia will lose one game

So this event is taking place in 4 months time and the RFL does not have a confirmed fixture list yet.

Explains why the game is treated as such a joke.

If that's true i'm there!

me too! ill dredge up my aussie mates from london and we can all verbally abuse them

International rugby league is a joke anyway so who cares.

It will remain a joke until somebody prevents players changing their nationality as and when it pleases them.

Wales v England rumoured to be held at Cardiff City Stadium.

read it on code13 somewhere

England v the Aussies at Wembley (double header)
England v the Kiwis at the KC
Final at Elland Road
England v Wales at Who Cares?

I'm up for that!



People care, a hell of a lot, but like you said, until somebody stops people changing nationality it won't work.

I imagine that there will be at lease one at Wigan or Warrington

one would be at widnes but australians carry a genetic, race memory that instinctively makes the kangaroos fear playing and losing there again

Wales v England (Cardiff City)
Australia v NZ (Stoop)
England v Australia/Wales v NZ (Wembley)
England v NZ (KC)
Wales v Australia (Racecourse)
Final (Elland Road)

that'll do me....though i've heard wigan is in the shake up for the england v NZ game..that way every region,that matters, will be covered...london,wales,lancashire & yorkshire

I'd be happy with that! I'd see 4 games at least, never been to KC either so maybe even make the trip for that.

Are you saying this is what the schedule is, or this is what you think the schedule should be? Surely makes sense to have Wales v England at Wrexham as more England fans will travel

Wales v England (Racecourse)
Australia v NZ (Stoop)
England v Australia/Wales v NZ (Wembley)
England v NZ (KC)
Wales v Australia (Cardiff)
Final (Elland Road)

I'd rather not play England at the Racecourse,
We'll take New Zealand at Wrexham,
Australia in Cardiff and England at Wembley.

Prediction/What I think it should be. The England game should be in Cardiff, it would sell out. The England fans won't travel to Wrexham at all, dunno where you get that from. They can't even be bothered to watch Internationals on the M62.

Wales vs New Zealand, England vs Australia. DH @ Wembley, London.
New Zealand vs Australia, Wales vs England. DH @ Millennium Stadium, Cardiff.
Wales vs Australia @ Racecourse Ground, Wrexham.
England vs New Zealand @ KC Stadium, Hull.
Final @ City of Manchester Stadium, Manchester.

Reckon that would be a good un.

I'd agree apart from the Cardiff game in Cardiff Citys ground. Get it filled.

Now Id say this is a very educated guess (not what id want but what I think the RFL will do) seemingly knowing a few facts such as stadium availabity knowing that the football teams stated Leeds,Hull and Hudds are not at home on the dates ive put them as also other games that have already been confirmed and the fact that travel companies arround the globe are selling wembly packages for the 5th November


Internationals confirmed

Australia V New Zealand 16th Oct

France v England 21st Oct

So that leads to all money on the 4 Nations being played from the 29th October and with the travel packages Wembly will be week 2 not week 1 like the RFL said they earlier wanted.

Week 1 28/29/30 October

England V Wales (at Leigh)
New Zealand v Australia (at the Stoop)

Week 2
5th November


NZ V Wales
England v Australia


Week 3

11/12/13 Nov

England v NZ at (Huddersfield or Hull)
Wales V Australia (at Wrexham)


Week 4

Final


Elland Road

19th Novemeber








In general people might not agree with leigh in Particular but I think the RFL will want all Englands games in England and the game idealy would have been best suited at Wigan but Athletic are at home tha weekend

Leigh isnt massive and raised eyebrows last time but was it full NO

This time it will be and I think the RFL like leigh as a stadium
