The pre-match atmos at Elland Road the last time we were in the final was superb, really spine timgling stuff. Shame about what followed . . . .

It's those sorts of nights the game needs if the international scene is to take off. A big crowd and a good performance (win or lose) will be huge for the game.

I would be chuffed if we won, but more so I would be delighted for the likes of Peacock and Morley, who have experienced as many lows as anyone playing for their country, despite digging in time and time again.

It was superb and then the Aussies put a pin in our baloon. I've been at 2 games in my life were the atmosphere has gone from superb to flat as a pancake and they were that game and the Wigan vs Bradford Grand Final of 2001.

I really hope Saturday isn't my 3rd. I just want us to compete and to keep everybody on the edge of their seats for at least 60mins. We're huge underdogs but we've got good enough players to compete with them if the belief is there.

I really hope at the end of the game on Saturday, whatever the result we can feel proud of our team and look forward to the future with abit more hope then we had coming into this compatition.

Looking at the sounds of this they could do with opening the top tier.

I flew back from oz for the final at elland road - a battering to go with my jetlag!!!

Hope they've done that already. 39k will sound awesome. Although at half-time in 2004 it wasn't too hot.

The Aussies just turned the heat up and played as well as side could - stunning example of how the game can be played at the elite level.

What is tragic is we seldom ever get to see rugby in the UL played to that standard.

Lets hope the Aussies don't turn the heat up once again!!!

England RU played 80 minutes on Saturday and never looked like scoring a try - for elite players it was laughable.

Atmosphere in 2005 was pretty good too, particularly in the little corner where the three of us were supporting the Kiwis and surrounded by Ockers...

Got my tickets online yesterday and quoted 'final10' as promo code and got them half price

A tenner to watch this cannot be bad..

Any news on pre-match entertainment?

Its 4 where I live

Beer, beer and more beer Come on England.

Any decent pubs to go in before the game?

If you're driving I'd say The Dragon (A58 on Z bend over railway)....nowt brilliant but friendly enough and you can park there (or near) and short walk to stadium....or Drysalters where Elland Road crosses Ring Road, which is similar. Food available at both, but be early at Dragon as they never seem to have a clue a match is on (despite having RL team based there!)

Public transport it's probably Wetherspoons at the railway station unless you're a millionaire...

im at a wedding

gutted...after witnessing the World Cup at first hand last year, and 2 of the 3 games so far this year, I am going to miss the biggest game!
