Does anybody know how the sales are going? i'd hope that this game would be able to sell out jjb.

Just spoken to the ticket office, limited availability and 'looks like a sell-out' to quote exactly. Let's hope it remains competitive and rewards the audience present and those watching on the BBC.

Great news. Should be a fantastic atmosphere.

Yeah great news, the atmosphere will be great and it will give our lads a big lift.

you need it!

I am keeping everything crossed for a huge crowd and a great atmosphere this Saturday.

I work as a Primary School teacher in a school near Bacup (not a rugby league area at all) but I am a Saints season ticket holder. We have a school trip coming to the match and are bringing 39 kids from our Year 5 and 6 class.

They are really excited about the event, even though 99% of them have never seen rugby played on TV before, let alone a live match between England and Australia.

So if you are sat in the North Stand, and you see a large group of children all waving hand held England flags and large flags with 'Stacksteads' across the middle - that's us!!!

I am sick of all the negativity I have read from some people this week - I for one am really excited about this weekends match and can't wait to see us take on the Aussies!!!

So let's have a massive atmosphere, really get behind the boys and make it a day to remember!

COME ON ENGLAND!!!!
