Although I won't be bothering I've no doubt that loads of you will be looking forward to the WC.
So I thought I'd start a thread about it and here's the RL on TV list of matches with where you can see them.
I hope you enjoy.
I might pop in for the Wheelchair matches having said that.

More RL is always welcome. Be it standard fair, Wheelchair, ladies or PDRL.
Exposure is everything.

Fiji Squad @ Aj Bell today,
Not sure if the Song they are singing was the Fiji National Anthem or another Fijian song But it's 100% Better on the ears than that. Annoying "Salford get battered wherever they go " đŽâđ¨

Unfortunately, I can't see England getting to the final. I think Oz, NZ and Samoa are stronger. Tonga are just behind. We always seem so far behind Oz and NZ in the backs. We've matched them in the forwards (more or less) for many years, but don't seem to get close at 1-7, especially 1, 6 & 7, closely followed by 3 & 4

However⌠the first team (assuming he picks our best and not Chris Hill etc) looks decent, I think we have a coach who always gets the best out of his players, and we have the great leveller of the weather. Samoa look very good on paper but I think weâll beat them next week, then it should be a route through to the semi. Australia look fairly unbeatable though, even with all the âdefectorsâ and some pretty awesome talent left at home. This must be the best quality across a number squads Iâve ever seen in a World Cup, with the talent that has chosen to play for their heritage country it should be a very interesting few weeks. |

I'm off to the match tonight and really looking forward to it.
With regards the England team it's such a shame that we're missing a couple of key backs. Newman would've been a shoo-in and Johnstone as well on the wing. He's 27 now and you kind of wonder if he'll ever get the opportunity to make an impact at international level with his injury record.
We can probably cover missing Walmsley but would've been nice to have him there as he's a bit of a freak.
Our pack will do a job but we're going to have to rely on Welsby in the halves to provide the flair that will complement Sneyd's game management & kicking.
As for our backline...
Hall - Way past his best (world class in his day)
Makinson - Will be solid and won't let us down
Kallum - Bit worried about him having lost that yard of pace and being exposed against pacier 3/4's & really wish he was playing 2nd row!
Farnsworth - Looks a really decent
player from what I've seen in the NRL.
We've got to hope that we can find a few young superstars over the next couple of years to give us a decent crack at the next WC and to complement those below who you'd think will be regulars by then.
Morgan Gannon
Mikey Lewis
Lewis Dodd
Dom Young
YJW
Newman
That's why we need regular internationals to get these players blooded quicker and to give them time to gel for the major tournaments.

I donât think Watkins gets in the team at 2nd row ahead of Knowles, Radley, Batchelor, Bateman, weâre pretty well stacked there so centre is a good option for him. He wonât let anyone down defence am sure

He wonât let anyone down defence am sure Yeah I get that although Bateman's a shadow of his former self from what I've seen the past 12/18 months so I'd have Kallum in before him TBH. I don't think I've seen much of Radley (if anything!) so can't comment although from what I've read online he's rated pretty highly. Knowles will be playing 13 won't he? Or will that be Radley? |

Can't see Sneyd playing from the start with Williams captain ... but still going tonight!
Bateman is a favourite of Warne (as is Hall)
