Finished 84-4 to England.

probably doesn't make much difference, but doesn't help either. it's a disgraceful score line, embarrassing.

i'll be wearing my new Hull FC polo shirt driving up to Yorkshire nxt week

who really wants to see a blow out like that in international rugby league,imo it doesn't do it any good,

So please quantify how it actually affects anything at all? Hashtag cliched cakkamalla.

Because test match rugby is supposed to be just that a test. Not a boring one sided embarrassing game. Can you honestly say anybody would get exited watching that yesterday ? Not the players fault but for me I like to see at least a reasonably close contest not a walkover

It happens in all sports from time to time. The All Blacks hammered France in the World Cup a few weeks back and France were full strength!
