Its a pretty light schedule compared to the 13- 14 tests in previuos years. I take it this doesnt include the oversea tour at the end of the year ?

 

[iggy plop]

The Australia v Scotland games should be really close and interesting.

I can't wait for them.

 

[bayrep]

Rather than the Aus vs USA in league test people are talking about, yep I can see that the league test would be much closer.

Scotland put up a fight in the 1/8 against the Aussies...

 

[Thomas]

Glad you share my enthusiasm, Iggy Plop. I, too, am looking forward to the Australia - Scotland game. They last met in the 1/4 finals of the Wordl Cup. Australia won then, but Scotland showed some promise.

Any estimates on the score in the Australia-USA RL game?

Why do people bring up league in the union forum?

[Stevo_G]

any end of year tours planned for wallabies this year

 

[ripper]

Probaly - maybe not though. The Lions are coming to New Zealand in 2005...

Considering rugby union hangs its credo on Internationals, this will be a poor match-up and a huge let down for union fans. Scotland are bloody hopeless. Says a lot about the strength of world rugby that this side could make the final eight in the world cup. South Africa's probable decline due to various issues over there will also be a worry for future tri-nations' series.

The sooner they have a three-match series against strong countries like England and NZ, the better.

LMAO - Scotland took the Aussies all the way Last Year...

And this coming from a fan who's codes No. 1 Team thrashed No. 2 48-6

 

[AuckMel]

Umm No... No 2 was missing 1 or 2 Major Ones...

Before you make a total fool of yourself, you should at least ensure you've got all the facts.

LMAO - Scotland took the Aussies all the way Last Year...

And it was a spectacular game. That's why I can't wait for the Scottish to tour next year. They are in the top 10 union nations in the world so they must be really strong and capable.

I will spend top dollar for the tickets.

 

[Crusader]

Sorry what was that? I can't seem to hear you #-o
That's right, I put you on ignore :blahb:

 

[chub]

does any know/ predict when the tickets for the Australia vs England game on June 26 will go on sale?

 

[bayrep]

DOnt know Chub, but I bet it will be very hard to get tickets to the game. Best bet would to try getting it via the internet. It will be the same here in NZ when they come down.

Also very keen to see the combined PI team play, the AB's do play them this year aye ? if so were ? and have they thought of a name for them yet ? i.e. pacific lions

Funny you should mention that, when was the last time England beat Australia on there own in League? There ranked 3rd and since league has 10 teams capable of winning the RLWC...
