There've been GB games at the Reebok too, and Loftus Road, for that matter. There were also cup semi finals and JP semis and finals at the old Burnden Park. And of course the old Boothferry Park.
Didn't Wigan play Warrington at Green Bay Packers ground?

Vicarage Road Watford has also hosted a WC game.

Yeah, I remember it now. Didn't it end in a draw and a tied series?

Hull FC have played at Craven Street, the Boulevard and the KC. I think they also played at the Circle Anlaby Road.

I might be wrong dp but I don't think Hull ever played at Craven Street as a 'professional league' club. I think Hull's last season there was the season before the founding of the Northern Union.

We played there twice, both were Broncos home games but I couldn't be sure when.

One was a Friday evening (I think) when the turnout exceeded all expectations and you couldn't pay at the turnstiles. The queues were miles long, it was a bit of a fiasco. Eventually some of the Tigers players came down the queue to sell tickets, we bought ours off Joel Stransky.

If memory serves me right it ended in a 14 - 14 draw with the Kiwis winning the sersies 2-0. But am open to correction.

Always happy to bow to someone with more miles on the clock UM

It finished 23-23 with a last minute drop-goal stopping the whitewash.

The first game finished 22-16 to New Zealand at the McAlpine, before the horror show that was the 36-16 game at the Reebok.

Thanks for making me remember THAT semi-final from 1992

Sorry if someone has already mentioned this, and it may well not count, but Horse Guards Parade has been used, I believe, more than once for a Quins v Skolars game.

I think you may mean The Honourable Artillery Company ground or 'the magnificent HAC Royal Artillery Ground situated in the heart of the City of London' which is soon to host the ETFS City Touch Tournament

Did they have to clear the pitch of horse muck left over from the Trooping the Colour?
