Isn't it limited to 31K or something, due to building work?

Didnt know about that, maybe thats why tickets are becoming so difficult to get hold of

How many times have we been here in the last 20 odd years. Just go out and give it your best shot England, stay with them for an hour and then with that crowd behind you----------------who knows!

Small change to the betting

Aussie 1/5 (in from 1/6)
England 7/2 (unchanged)

Handicap +12

Seems the feelgood factor may be having an effect

I'm a bit new to this I read this morning that the Aussies get to choose the ref. Is that true? And if it is, could someone tell me why? Thanks.

they have kicked off ever since Ashley swine did their final against Kiwis which think he either binned or sent off a player and gave the kiwis a penalty try. Both decisions were correct but they didn't like the fact it was a superleague ref (even though an Aussie) and tried to blame him for that loss. Think he went back to get a refs job over in oz and they wouldn't use him.

Tim Sheens is a master of the strategic whine/veiled threat, to make sure they get the ref that he perceives will give them the greatest opportunity to play an NRL style game; holding on and rolling around in the tackle, knees/arms in at the ptb and plenty of facials.

I'd rather have one of their refs than our own. They'd only use it as an excuse if by some miracle we actually beat them

The problem I have with an Aussie ref is that due to having two of them in their weekly games in the NRL, they've become de-skilled; they're not used to having oversight of the whole game. That and their blatant bias of course - I'm looking at you Mr Archer.

Odds cut again on England, confidence must be growing.

England 15/4 (in from 7/2)
Aussie 1/5 (Unchanged)

Still fancy Aussie by 14, but happy to lose out with the bookie for an England win

Was it Ricky Stuart who squared up to Klein and Cummins in the hotel after that match?

Not a chance!
