England the better side on paper by a long way. NZ missing some serious strike in the backs due to RTS, SJ, and others making themselves unavailable.

England has an unfortunate habit of playing down to their opposition however so I still expect a contest.

England by 10.

Saw the Kiwis side at Sydney Airport this morning. Wondered who the random white guy was, turns out it's Slade Griffin.

I believe Marsters is playing center for NZ

Nz will be competitive, but we aren't taking the game anywhere near as seriously as the poms are.

I'm worried we'll get rolled in the middle if the likes of TMM and Nikorima are our starting halves, though it is what it is, especially with the form the burgess boys are in. I'm interested to see if Maguire has any tactics against them.

Also pretty stoked to see Isaako and Marsters playing. Can see these two being consistent picks for us for years to come. So much future potential once we get a full healthy squad!
