We can show the world how to beat a New Zealand rugby side tonight. Thankfully we will be playing rugby played to the correct rules. It should be a cracker if our new boys play to their strengths.
" Come on England"

;D a man after my own heart chris35!
While I did quite enjoy watching yesterday's Rugby 'Union' World Cup final and seeing the Kiwis win I'm looking forward to tonight's match and will NOT be shouting for them this time! ;)
Still not sure if we have enough strength to win the series against the world champions in this code too, but I shall be watching, large glass of wine and fingers crossed that we get off to a good start.

Cider over ice for me. Would have been a stronger team for me with Tompkins in the side,but he's not fit.
Big game for Chris Hill, a Leyther like myself.

Tomkins been out too long for me, Hardaker in form
Here goes! ;D

It would be very easy to have contempt for sport whose devotees would drink such an offence to the noble apple. But it is probably only Strongbow instead of proper cider so I shall attempt to rise above this prejudice.

Nice one Colwyn. To be perfectly honest I am a "Bitter" drinker,but I drank all my weekly supply yesterday so I've had to nick a can of the wife's supply. But... If drinking the apple stuff results in us beating the Kiwis it's cider again for the next game. "Come on England".

Looks like it's cider next 2 weeks chris! ;D
Shaky start, much better 2nd half. Pleased Ferres got his 2 tries and MOM.
Looking forward to next week now.

Training at Leigh Sports Village how could they lose? All Leythers (and Yorkshire men of course)............."Come on England!" ;D 8)
-
Yes, don't forget the Yorkshiremen Dennis! ;) ;D

The next game will be the decider. Win it and we win the series,lose it and we will lose the series. We will have to be really up for it for the next battle as you can absolutely guarantee the Kiwis will. Can't understand why we are playing the second test in London. Surely the crowds will be down on last nights. Hope I'm proved wrong but we'll see.

Brothers in arms Marina when it comes to playing the yellow and the black shirts at Rugby League! ;D ;D

Think you are right Chris about the next one being the decider. Definitely need to wrap it up next week. I suppose taking it to London is the RFL appealing to a wider audience. From what I've heard there's been a lot of interest and good ticket sales. We were thinking about going down and having a weekend in London and going to the match but then something else came up and we couldn't go. Now if the RFL had stuck to the M62 corridor and had the 2nd test in Huddersfield we could still have gone to the match! : :)
Exactly Dennis! ;D

Just to add to my last post, on a more serious note, that whatever happens over the next couple of weeks we have been reminded today that it is only a game. The news this morning that the young rugby league referee Chris Leatherbarrow has apparently (though not yet confirmed) taken his own life at the tragically young age of 26, leaving a wife and 4 year old daughter. The whys and wherefores are for another time but his family must be devastated. So, so sad.
RIP Chris

Yes it's so so sad. Chris was heading for the echelon of refereeing Superleague and seemed to have everything going for him. He refereed quite a few games at Leigh sports village. RIP indeed.
