| I think it is 14. Start selling tickets, merchendise etc now! Release all of the teams kits at once so people can start buying them and people get to recognise them. As much as I dispise the sport, Union international kits are so easy to recognise in the street. People buy into an icon when they buy the SA kit. Losers!

I understand and share your impatience, but you can't start selling merchandise and tickets before you've decided on the format or done the draw.

I'm almost certain that it's 12 of the 14 that are confirmed. They gave automatic places to the 10 from last time and then added Cook Islands and Wales.
The qualifying competition I believe has two groups (three nations per group IIRC) with one from each group qualifying. The original plan was for the qualifying competition to take place in 2012 (hence no 4 Nations, Euro Cup or Pacific Cup) and I don't believe that has changed.

| , who are expected to host fixtures in the 2013 Cup, will join the 10 teams who competed in 2008, holders New Zealand, Australia, England, Papua New Guinea, France, Ireland, Scotland, Fiji, Samoa and Tonga.
The other automatic place is likely to go to either [iCook Islands[/i, who lost in the final of the 2009 Pacific Cup to Papua New Guinea, or [iLebanon[/i, who narrowly missed out on qualification for 2008.
The RLIF announced in February that the competition would be expanded from 10 teams to 14, with two of the extra sides to come from qualifying tournaments which are likely to be the Pacific Cup and the European Cup.'
I'm not sure how they're going top use the European Cup as a qualifier when the four competing nations already have World Cup spots. Maybe they got mixed up with the European Shield in which case Lebanon aren't even takling part.
In the Pacific Cup only the Cook Islands aren't already going to the UK in 2013 so they could lose every game in the cup and still go through.

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

It should be somewhere bigger than the stoop.

| Frankly, unless the economic climate gets loads better, you can forget London - certainly for families. The cost of getting to London and then the ground is prohibitively high. Not fortgetting that you can watch it on the TV at home (in 3D by then), or, if you want more atmosphere, in the pub!

But if Australia are playing NZ... it's fair to say the vast majority of supporters will either be Aussies or Kiwis. It's unlikely many poms would want to come along anyway.
Most Aussies and Kiwis live in London...so we dont have to worry about the cost of getting here.
So why play the fixture anywhere other than in London? If its played somewhere up north it just means the Aussies and Kiwis have to travel.

The opinion that people have that all Aussies and Kiwis in London work behind a bar is completely untrue.
Its like the rumour that the English are terrified of soap and water and refuse to shower more than once a fortnight.
I know the English have a shower once a week whether they need one or not

TBF they should have it at wembley, they is far more cubicles at that stadium then any other. Thus making it more conveinent for the Aussies who like to over themselves.
