Considering how much each showed in attack last week there will be more tries in the union games

 

[League Unlimited News]

Teams named. No Johnson for the Kiwis.

 

[MKCS]

Damn this has to be the worst halves pairings for both respective sides ever.

Foran is about 5 or 6 years past his best whilst Benji is around the same. Widdop has played maybe ten games all year and is past his best whilst Hastings is a guy who couldn't cut it in the NRL and would struggle to make every single NRL sides starting 17.

As for the game itself the forwards are about even with NZ having better props but England having better back rowers and hooker. NZ has a much stronger backline so based on that I imagine NZ will win but it won't be pretty.

Foran vs Hastings in a 40 yard race.
Time it with a sun dial.

Erroneous statement of yours aside (RL is a form of Rugby), I fail to see how that affects the fact Eden Park is a terrible national stadium for people who play rugby of all varieties quite seriously...

Only yanks and Victorians call rugby league 'rugby'

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Brilliant take there by the Lions winger

Tell that to people in Yorkshire and Lancashire. You know, the actual home of Rugby League?

Yanks and Victorians? Pretty much anyone outside of RU and RL playing areas call both Rugby.

 

[edabomb]

Lol stich up is on here. Why did we have an Aussie ref last week and an English one this week?

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Very ordinary game so far

 

[Chook Norris]

Hastings has nothing aside from a very obviously telegraphed inside ball

Just wait until he pulls off his signature move, the Gladstone Shuffle.
