Really shithead?


So far, England only have one locked in date to take on France on April 29.

They have been confirmed as part of the 2023 European Championship, though it is understood the preference is to still hold a test series against a southern hemisphere nation. However, that won’t be either Australia or New Zealand.

If that was to happen, then England Knights could line up in the European competition, which will partly make up a World Cup qualifying section.

The two sides who finish highest, outside of England and France, will qualify for the 2025 World Cup.

However, the other nations aren’t too happy with the prospect of the Knights side being parachuted in. Even though it would likely make things more competitive, they see it as devaluing the competition and themselves as international nations.

Whichever version of England shows up, if you’re betting on rugby today, then all will have them as favourites.


Or the actual press release


England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, Serbia, Spain and Wales will contest the 2023 European Championship A, to be played in two groups of four.

The bottom 4 from that play again next year to get in

So yes you are wrong again


As for the other nations, This sort of stuff takes preference


From that you can get the Govt onboard to hopefully host tests, So why lock stuff in when there could be better places to host it than Campbelltown or Auckland.

So Cricket is sorted? So is Gabba, Adelaide or Perth hosting the 1st test? Back to a November date or is it still December?
The whinging poms hatred is so ingrained he’s beyond redemption.

Why should the IRL board in England decide where and when is best for the Pacific Island teams to play? He really has no idea
Because it’s another reason for him to complain. He’s been doing it for so long now he knows no other way.

the IRl main nations usually get together at the RLWC and nut out the up and coming test calendar for those nations. Sheesh.
there has been a draft plan put in place but can’t be ratified until the arlc get their sht together with the cba.

England are going you f**ken peanut. Whether they send a B side is the question.

So the RLPA has no part whatsoever in there being no CBA?
Where should Samoa and Tonga play in 2024 then genius?

What about my earlier question as to where and when this 1st test v Pakistan in Cricket will be next year?

Do you follow rugby league? France and England are not in the first phase of the European cup which is a 6 team comp and part of the RLWC 25 qualifying,

Like I said where’s the calendar for tier one and two nations? Not yet agreed as pistol Pete couldn’t be arsed to get on a plane for rl, but happy to for racing I note.

socceroos play Asia cup June/July
cricket has a full test schedule this year booked in.
Well done buddy for pointing this out. As you and I know, this is Pete's personal responsibility and can only be done in person at the time of the world cup.

When we meet up with him on Thursday night for poker night you should remind him of his responsibilities and that literally billions of people are hanging out for this itinerary.

haha England knights are not a test side any more than the prime ministers 13.
And no England Is not confirmed for any games for 2023, Yet.
in the draft it mentions a “possible” end of season pacific cup and “possibly” one of the PI teams touring the northern hemisphere.

I’m having sleepless nights about it. I’m just glad the whinging Pom has a merciless agenda of negativity at his disposal to keep us in the loop with his V’landysphobic obsession!

Might have been a legit excuse it if wasn’t for the fact the person he needed to sit down with was actually at the RLWC!
