We stopped off at a few pubs on the way back to Kings Cross, and in almost every one we had somebody local chatting to us about the game. Most had watched on tv or in the pub, but all were extremely complimentary about the sport and the players. One lad told me he'd been to Cardiff the night before to watch Wales and Tonga union game, but said he wishes he'd spent his money at Wembley instead.

It confirmed for me once and for all that there is a market down there if only somebody can work out how to tap into it.

RL World Cup every two years.

Think yourselves lucky we didn't fire the way we should have or you would have copped a major flogging. That's not bragging or being arrogant it's a fact. At 14 - 8 up we should have run away with it. Both sides were ordinary at times if im honest .. it's just we were slightly less ordinary when it counted. We need to raise our game big time next weekend or the Aussies will steamroller us.

Gracious in victory I see.

I'm not being arrogant. It's a fact. We SHOULD have run away with that game. however we didn't. We were ordinary at times as were England.. it's just we were less ordinary when it mattered.

It certainly isnt a fact, at all. You could say the same for England once we were ahead, we had numerous chances to seal the win and probably should have won the game with a comfortable 14 point win. Unfortunatly Hall couldnt finish a couple of chances and Westwood came agonisingly close.

You probably should have won if it wasnt for the fact that england were the better team.

There must have been several thousand Aussie and kiwi Londoners there, there where quite a few near us and quite a few southern amateur club players and fans.

We really need to scap the broncos and get a new club run by super league and latch on to the succsess.

Sam Burgess proved in his post game interview that he should be the next England captain. To speak like that with such maturity and grace at a time like that spoke volumes. I couldn't have done it and wouldn't have done it. Me and the group I was with didn't speak a word for about 20 minutes, We just slumped back in our seats in stunned silence.

That lad is all class and a real hero of English rugby league. His life experiences have rounded him in to a terrific person as well as one of the best rugby league players I've seen (and I've seen a few).

Sam burgess will lead us to the promised land.

It's his destiny.

I think the Hall chance were he slipped over was a big chance.

Why? It was us who should have run away with it but we panicked. You were second best because you were battered.
