ENG v NZ @ ANFIELD, LIVERPOOL // Sunday 4 Nov - Monday 01h30 (AEDT) 03h30 (NZDT)

[LeedsRhinos]

Wayne Bennett one of the few decent Aussies

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

Man, this has me pumped to see the Chooks embarrass Wigan in a few months.

I usually want those super league teams to win on those club challenges but boy am I going to enjoy the Roosters flex their muscle.

 

[kiwileaguefan]

2-0

Haha only thing your shit team ever wins....im pretty sure it was still black and white tv's when England won anything with importance...

 

[LeedsRhinos]

Who cares how much the Roosters beat Wigan by? I hope they do.

Doesn't stop the Kingdom of England once again reigning supreme over the colonies, god save your queen.

I expect England to beat us every time we travel there, it means f**kall. Try winning a WC or a Four Nations

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

Just a wait a season or two when the new generation Australian team gels together - then it will be business as usual with them dishing out thrashings on England and this time I can sit back and cheer.

 

[deluded pom?]

Good to see eye gouging is legal now

Totally disgusting act.

 

[Arucard]

My fellow Kiwis are so salty in here. Embarrassing.
We got beat by a better team. There is no shame in that.

Suddenly a best of 3 series for the Baskerville Shield isn’t of any importance?
Geez you sound so childish. I’d have loved for that shield to be heading back to NZ.

A season or two FFS. Where do I send the white feathers? We want you now but you are running scared.

 

[edabomb]

England really putting the tradition back in RL. Bias refs haven't been so blatant since the 70s.

Kiwis were woeful but the fact of the matter is the winning of the game came down to the bull shit call from a video referee who clearly saw a try but can't see a eye gouge?

Course we're salty. We should've won both of those games if it weren't for rubbish calls by the video refs. As for the series, I never expect to win a series in England - case in point the refereeing in both of these games.

 

[Unscrupulous]

Hahahahahahaha "running scared"

Wow

Ahahahaha

Hahahahahahaha "running scared"

Wow

Ahahahaha

The Aussies will be back to being unstoppable in 2-3 years time when players like ponga, Mitchell and cleary etc are bedded into the kangaroos team but until then a few defeats to Australia by the English would do wonders for international RL. Even in Australia.

 

[Walter sobchak]

Great match between 2 very even sides. The crowd would have been 10k bigger had the RFL not dicked about with the dates 3 times.

 

[Walter sobchak]

England must tour NZ for the next series. Tests in Auckland, wellington and Christchurch with a midweek game against The Maoris in rotorua thrown in.

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

If you played them anywhere except in the UK, I'd be confident the Aussies would win.

 

[The Clan]

If you played them anywhere except in the UK, I'd be confident the Aussies would win.

England were missing 10 players who were in the World Cup squad just 12 months ago, this wasn’t even England’s strongest team.

Widdop
Watkins
Hall
Gale
Sam Burgess
McMeekin
Roby
Walmsley
Taylor

In addition there are a number of players who many fans think should have made the team for this series but didn’t

Danny Richardson halfback from St Helens
Tom Johnstone winger from Wakefield Trinity
Liam Watts Prop from Castleford
Mark Percival Centre from St Helens

2021

1. James Tedesco
2. Valentine Holmes
3. Latrell Mitchell
4. Nick Cotric
5. Tom Trbojevic
6. Cameron Munster
7. Nathan Cleary

14. Kayln Ponga


That team looks freightening. By 2021 they would be a well oiled machine and I don't know how we'd be able to match them.

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

Like Denver maybe?

Would be good. When was the last time England beat the Aussies anyways?
