  1. I hope Scotland beat Wales and get to the Four Nations in 2011 it would be good to see them play in it. PNG won the Pacific cup final to qualify to play in next years Four Nations. As for the NZ vs England game in the next round the kiwis have Jeff Lima, Matai and Harrison all in doubt with injuries. Also good to hear Matty King has been doing well over in England.

    There is no qualifying for the 4 Nations from the Euro Cup AFAIK. France are it as the 4th Northern Hemisphere team for now.

  2. That was a good game. At half-time I thought Australia would go on and totally embarass England even more but England raised their game in the 2nd half and managed to restore some pride in themselves.

    Burgess has been great this season for a very poor Bradford Bulls team and, he should get even better from the experiance he'll get in Australia. Just like Gareth Ellis has.

    I think the Aussies will beat France but England will need to play to their full potential and they'll also need to play well in the first half not just the 2nd half if they want to beat New Zealand.

    I was at the game on Saturday. At HT I was ready to go home but Tony Smiths tinkering seemed to settle us down a bit. He moved Lee Smith out to right wing, put Hammond in at right centre. Perhaps most importantly he put Sinfield in at acting half to direct the team from the ruck similar to what Cameron Smith does for the Aussies.

    It will be a tough game next Saturday against the Kiwis, I am tempted to get McGuire to feck. He is a "catch and passer" and terrifed of taking the ball into contact. Tomkins played well in the 2nd half and looked like our one back that could cause the Aussies problems.
