International Origin: England vs Exiles

[DIEHARD]

Well at least I'll get to watch it.

While it'd be bad for brand England rl to lose, the fact is team England rl isn't full strength and they are blooding young talent. But they public wont realise that by and large so hopefully that urges them on to win.

What time will it be in Australia when the game is on?

its on at 2 PM my time which will make it 5 AM for you.

If anyone wants a link to a stream of the game I can post it.

Not a bad game, Exiles did dominate most of the match. Rangi Chase has developed well, he is looking very good on the field these days.

[TITAN PETE]

Sounds like a pretty good game but the result isn't too good for The English side going down 16-12.

I look forward to watching the replay

Yep...England is in trouble if they could not defeat the Exiles...another Four Nations where there is only two teams in the running!

[DIEHARD]

Just about to kick off on NINE! Check it out!

[DIEHARD]

I'm addicted to international footy. So I'm gonna enjoy this!

Looks like a decent crowd showed up, in excess of 14,000.

[DIEHARD]

Gee I hate the small numbers on the jerseys of both teams.

And the Exiles jersey reminds me too much of the Crusaders. But it has a nice chevron.

[DIEHARD]

Great to see so many familiar faces playing! Up the Exiles!

[Boofhead]

Not liking the camera angles, although I like the pommie commentators.

[DIEHARD]

I think this game will help the English, even if they keep losing surely it will make them dig deeper. Take it deadly serious. It's also great to see these Aussies and Kiwis play together.

It gives me a smile to see these players again and I believe that there is a market for this game down under.

[DIEHARD]

Not liking the camera angles, although I like the pommie commentators.

Ya I love the northern accents. Got to love Eddie and Stevo.

I wanna start an Exiles supporters group! Stick it to the poms.

[DIEHARD]

Looking forward to seeing exactly how many of these England players are Test standard.

[DIEHARD]

Oh only England could collapse like that in the last minute but full marks to the Exiles great passage of play. Rangi Chase has been first class.

Hopefully a loss against the Exiles will ultimately be more helpful than a win. They need to end the rot or will be killed at home by Australia and New Zealand during the Four Nations.

[DIEHARD]

Although Im a fan of the concept. It represents the two major forces within the Rugby Super League. English talent and imports.

In some ways it is a weakness, but there is a growing move towards young English talent. And Rugby League might as well turn a weakness into a strength and highlight the foreign talent.
