Spud and other poms, do you guys prefer to be playing as England or GB? Personally from an international expansion point of view i think it's better for you to be England but thats just me.

Sure he played in the match they won...i recall him scoring a try

Edit...was Raynor that scored the try but he did play in that match.

[roughyedspud]

thats my whole argument about playing as england.......if its 17 englishmen why play as GB and not england?

I am pretty sure that Horne and gilmour played their first game for scotland and i thought Ellis was originally Welsh, although maybe injury prevented him from playing for them.

 

[roughyedspud]

ellis welsh?? lol


and horne & gilmour played for scotland in the 2000 world cup...they are still bloody english though...and gilmour played for england before scotland anyway

I think you need to see the teamsheet for Saturday 'spud if you think it's 17 Englishmen against 16 Aussies and a Fijian :sarcasm:

theres certainly not welsh,scots or irish in there is there

Yeah, I decided to go in the end. I figure I've made a commitment to take eleven other people to the games and showcase RL to them. A couple are northerners and a couple Aussies so they know and like RL but have limited involvement in it these days so maybe this will re-start something for them. The majority though have little or no experience of the game at all and I'm hoping that a good performance will get them interested. My own involvement in the game started with watching on Sky and then being absolutely blown away by GB v Australia at Wembley in 1994. So maybe it will work again?

Plus, the demise of the hideous Quins RL has given me something of a boost and I'm looking forward to seeing the Broncos again. Hopefully some of these guys will be interested enough to come along to a game or two next year.

I will, however, be sticking my fingers in my ears when they read out the team sheet. Pretend I didn't hear Chase, Heighington, Uate, Williams, etc.

Did gilmour play for England, or Great Britain before playing for Scotland?

Close to 60k at Wembley for an Australia v England RL test? I would LOVE to be there.
