Or cricket? I dont agree with Rangi Chase playing fro England but that shouldnt stop people gong to watch the game!!! I payed £10 for my ticket to wembley and really enjoyed the atmosphere and the games (not the result) some people are only happy when moaning...

The Words Piss Up And Brewery Spring To Mind!

I cannot identify with the England team anymore it's not a moan it's a fact.

I agree. It should be Team GB and everyone playing in it should have been born here!

i had the same reservations as a lot on here about not being excited for the game until i got in the stadium and the teams came out for the england game. the atmosphere was great given a third of the stadium being empty, and by half time i was feeling patriotic again and obviously giving the ref some weel deserved abuse. me and some mates got a train there n back for £10 n with the ticket was less than £50, so couldn't complain, had a great day. Ive been to international matches all over up north and the experience of travelling down to wembley to watch to games whatever the chances of winning is much better

42,000+ the crowd, there wouldnt have been that many at Old Trafford..

I friend just text me to say they was a big party load from Stanley Rangers was going to go but the conference league said they couldn't change the fixture, so they didn't go and then was told that crosfields couldn't field a full team on saturday morning

it does make you think why play on the same day

There are plenty of so-called Rugby League fans who have sat on their s watching the game yesterday on tv and called our our sport for being "a joke". People who love to see the sport "fail", even though yesterday was a success all round other than the result. It really sickens me. The RFL were virtually giving tickets away for yesterdays game and still they wouldn't attend.

The biggest joke though is that those people then suggest this game should have been played in the North of England. When was the last time a GB or England game in Yorkshire sold out? When was the last time a GB or England game in the North got an attendance as big as the one yesterday??

I saw a coach in the services on the way down from Shaw Cross Sharks, werent they playing yesterday? ok it could be any age group who went but they were there..

Coco, you are absolutely spot on.
Chase is not and never will be English.
If he was better than we have then maybe try him (although it still wouldnt be right)
Rob Burrow must have broken a few mirrors and run over a couple of black cats.
He should at least have a spot on the bench and probably a starting spot.
Like Tomkins he can break defences with elusive running and pace of the mark.
We got hammered by the ref today, disallowed try, no sin bin/ sending off for a deliberate strike to the head, allowing tha Aussies to hold down too long in the tackle.
Having said all that, there was enough on show today to give us some real hope for next week and for all the moaning about the crowd figure, people should get of their backsides and support the team.
9 of us had a great day out today and for £10 a ticket.

Just got to say I went to the match and had a great time pity about the result tho!

I went to the game. 2 games for a tenner. Should have been more there, but what more can the RFL do but offer you tickets for £10??
Beer was expensive and rank but if youve been before you expect that.
England made a fist of it, but Oz looked like they were in 3rd gear throughout. Whenever they stepped it up a little, they scored. A couple of different decisions from the ref, a fit 17 from start to finish and H'ton tackling Williams and it could have been closer.
