The whole expansion policy is a nonsense. We have a team who plays in manchester who are regularly getting less than 3000 in attendance. Surely putting internationals in Manchester could actually be beneficial for SL.

Whats the point of putting a game in Coventry? If some locals go see it and really like it are we expecting them to drive to Warrington every Weekend?

I agree, Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle aren't RL strongholds but at least have teams in and around them to promote and are more attractive places for fans to spend a weekend in.

I blame Watkins for the two tries New Zealand conceded in that half.

This is the best I have seen NZ play in a while. Australia are very good - best we've seen over here in a long time.

NZ are similar to last week but Johnson was on then with his kicking game and he wasn't dropping the ball cold.

The Aussies are as efficent as ever, should be 20 clear at least.

Despite the Aussies being in control they are only 10-0 up, this game can still turn.

Thought he really stood out against Scotland though.

No, really.

That's the point I was making - NZ gave been brilliant to hang on in there. Next score will be critical. If Amy's get it early they'll run away. NZ score and its game.

I've not seen anything so far that worries me. Nowt to beat.

Re: Team to face Scotland : Sat Nov 05, 2016 9:02 pm  

Can't see NZ getting the win here so a big Aussie win will at least keep England in it for next week however slim the chances are.

Oh, cripes!

Why do the BBC keep inviting the big, gormless gloit for his opinion?

Seeing the Mason/Fielden/Peacock scrap will never, ever get old.
