"Mcbanana"

"Why isn’t player A from my team playing"

"They aren’t real Italians, it’s a joke/farce/nonsense"

And the perennial favourite,

"I blame Nigel Wood."

England fans expecting a 50 point victory against Italy

I saw a thread where someone seriously suggested that England should be playing against a Super League team instead

England vs Castleford to be played at the Mennaye Field, cornwall.

Sold.

Yep, I've got one.

How about Probables (Elite Squad) versus Impossibles (Rubbing rag, second raters)

In hindsight maybe better just sticking with the Italians, less of a threat, we don’t want to dent their ambition prior to the W.C.

I don't see the problem, Italy are my favourites to make the quarters out of their group. Reckon they could give us a scare if the players are half as complacent as the fans.

Sarà un grande gioco. Stop lamenti RL Fan

Should of been in Italy.

Really what was the point in the exiles game. A complete waste of time!!!

Should they expect it to be more?

Italy should cope with Wales and Scotland, but may come unstuck against Tonga.

Looking at Tonga (and Samoa and Fiji) the squad is rammed with NRL talent......this tournament could see the last 8 being Pacifica with the exception of England and Wales.

For me the Quarters will be
NZ V Tonga
Au v Wales
Eng v Samoa
PNG V Fiji

Semis

NZ V England
Au v Fiji

Final

England v Australia.

First, it would be "Should HAVE been".

Second, that would only apply if the game had already taken place. It hasn't.

"Should be in Italy" would do the trick.

The start of this thread shows why I'm starting to get fed up with our game

Perfect warm up match against opposition who could be tough at a ground where only a few thousand will be enough to make a noise. Brilliant

Just wish I could attend it
