The shirt issue still riles me. I saw loads of RU all white and a simple rose. Good simple design easy to wear as casual wear.
The England RL is just for sale to the diehards. It will have no wider appeal.

I asked my daughter if she wanted an England RL shirt and she said she preferred the RU one.

Samoa have underperformed at international level for decades for some reason, but even so, that result must be a massive shock to anyone except the most optimistic England fans.

Doesn't help that England RL change shirt every 5mins, no brand is built before it's all change again. I personally think the in your face flag on the shirt is our best look (such as last year's shirt that was intended for the World Cup) as neither Union or Football go for that so it's distinct.

Fantastic prediction,you are never too far out LOL

Well all them players went well -Hill,Cooper,Mickey and Tomkins-really all the team in my opinion.

I can’t believe Wayne didn’t pick Ryan Hall the worlds best winger

6k for Italy-Scotland is a solid effort considering it was in Newcastle and given they haven't been discounting tickets this time round it should mean the revenue is good so far

Why do they keep playing that crap Mexican trumpet? It's bloody horrible

Need to have singers for the anthems, it's really spoiling it pre game

I take back my earlier optimism about crowds 5k for an NZ game is really poor.

Time for some discount codes for people who have bought tickets to go to another game maybe?

Worryingly we also have games in non heartland places like Coventry and Middlesbrough coming up
