Four Nations Thread

[TRF_Cymro]

Warrington's Adrian Morley will captain England for the Four Nations series in Australia and New Zealand which starts later this month.

The veteran prop takes over the captaincy from injured Leeds Rhinos prop Jamie Peacock.

Huddersfield have six players named, including uncapped quartet Leroy Cudjoe, Luke Robinson, Darrell Griffin and Shaun Lunt.

Wigan forward Stuart Fielden has also earned a recall.

I was half expecting Burgess not to play for England while down under,
Very glad he is though, the guys a monster

 

[gingergenius]

surprised to see peter fox missing from that squad, always thought he's a good player. and is eastmond out for the long term?

 

[wigan_rlfc]

That team will get battered.

Just watching the NZ-ENG game and England is playing quiet well.

 

[Saints1]

I thought England were shocking today. Tackling was non-existent.

Watching the France vs Wales match now - over the internet (Its my first international league match). Very steady start by both sides... France throwing everything through their number 8 (my terminology is still a bit shocking with league atm)... the guy is huuuuuugggee. Very interesting the GT is captain for wales already in Briers's absence

That's probably Jamal Fakir, and yes he's huge...

Can you believe France has had the same ref for 3 games? Apparently the Catalans were not very pleased with him this season...

 

[cyRil]

Who won then?

 

[Amobokoboko]

Wales 12-11

I thought England were shocking today. Tackling was non-existent.

They scored two tries vs NZ and that one road runner run by Luke... for ENG was amazing. He was on nearly one meter of the try line.

was gutted when i left the house and france led 11-10. Just come back and seen the result cracking stuff. Congrats Wales RL
so they are in next years four nations?? (don't quite understand what they've qualified for )

 

[Amobokoboko]

The way I see it, next year NZ, AUS, ENG and Wales will play the Four Nations. It's a pity that there will be no Pacific team next year.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_League_Four_Nations

Benji played good.

 

[Amobokoboko]

He really played well, especially that last try, pure class.

Yeah man, I dont think Australia will hang off him though. I was surprised he was allowed to run across that far the second time for the lead up to his corner try, although the English held their line, someone needed to rush up and shut Benji down but then again with the form that he's in Benji might have conjured something else up.

 

[Amobokoboko]

Yeah, they are playing OZ next weekend?
I don't mind getting up early to see that game live.

Watch out for the lads from the mines ....

Watch out for the lads from the mines ....

[Amobokoboko]

Then the BBC should start broadcasting more of those games
