| My first memory of following England / GB was the Ashes Down Under in 1988 (when I was 7) getting up at silly o'clock to watch the games with my old man (great days).
My biggest highs to date are:
1994 Test at Wembely - Jonathan Davies try.
1997 Test at Old Trafford - Andy Farrells try.
Our win in the 1st test in Huddersfield in 2001, when Paul Sculthorpe has 1 of his finest hours.
Our win in Sydney in 2006
I think my biggest low is the shellacking in 2002 when we played Australia for a mid season test and lost 64 - 10.
Or possibly the 3rd Ashes Test at Elland Road in 1994 when the entire crowd almost walked out at half time.
I dare to dream (even pray) of a victory tomorrow but the Aussies will raise their game to another level.
What would it mean to me.... the biggest sporting result of my life and probably 1 of the biggest results in the sports history, espcially at a time when English RL needs such a massive boost in terms of PR in a country dominanted by Football and RU.
Come on England!!

I think if we win, his followers will double, every single one of waiting to watch him squirm.

| Being a saints fan, there have been numerous highs over the last 15 years or so - challenge cups, grand finals, and especially world club championships.
But the best rugby league feeling I have ever had was being in Sydney in 2006 to see GB stuff the Aussies on their own middin. What a match, what a night.
Beating the Aussies in a final for the first time in 40 odd years would be incredible. I'm working, so can't make it, but if we do win, those who do go will have a memory that will live with them for the rest of their lives.

| not really a great moment in my life in general but as a sporting high it would certainly be up there with :
Seeing Huddersfield RLFC walk out in 2 challenge cup finals ( i was there in the dark days of the 80's so we tend to saviour it more than the newer fans)
Watching Sheffield Wednesday lift the league cup in 1991 ( after beating Man Utd at wembley, still the last team outside the top division to win a major trophy)
Fartown winning the 1992 3rd division ( the sleeping giant was finally arising)
Fartown winning the 1997 premiership final
GB doing the Aussies in Melbourne (1992) and at Huddersfield (2001)
Sheff Weds beating the pigs at Wembley in the fa cup semi in 1993

| Everytime we get to this part of the year I always realise that International honours means more to me than club success.

| Sporting wise it'd be up there. The 2004 GF was amazing as was 99 CC final. LUFC beating that lot at OT last year. 2005 Ashes. The 5-1.
England winning the 4N would be as good as any of those I think.
