I do like that all the matches are to be played on Saturdays except Australia's match the week before the final that is late on Sunday. Clever thinking RFL... (Assuming we get to the final)

EDIT: ticket details to be announced on Monday 4th July

Thanks for posting this

Really like the idea of the double-header on the 5th.

Can I have permission to moan about Leigh and Elland Road please?

Long overdue return to Wembley!

Should be some seriously hot tickets for that opener at Warrington.

A double header at Wembley? Should see some fireworks that day.

Looks like a weekend in London is in order.

I'll see you there!

Wembley and Elland Road, for mine.

The final at Leeds again, is old trafford or manchester stadium available there has to be a better option.

Would imagine it depends on the football fixtures.

Not until you've got your tickets for the Wembley games.

Seriously though, I think anyone who is disappointed by the choice of other venues for the tournament on the basis they are too small or in the wrong location needs to get fully behind talking up the Wembley fixture, instead of grumbling about the others, because the RFL aren't going to change the venues now. Stay positive, be proactive, encourage as many people as you can to support the big doubleheader and then, if we can get a massive crowd at Wembley to support international Rugby League, that will be the biggest and most persuasive argument possible to convince the RFL to be even bolder with other fixtures in future.

Anybody got any idea how much the tickets are going to be. Is it going to be different for each ground or are the RFL going to have a fixed price for every ground?

[brooza]

Got a couple of people from work that may head to Wembley, and a couple from the Folkestone office, too. Depending on the prices when they're announced, I might manage to get the father-in-law to come too

No idea yet, details to be announced on Monday.

RFL probably wanted to give people the weekend to moan about venues and the rest of the week to moan about ticket prices

[Maximus Decimus]

It's great news about the return to Wembley and should give players something to really look forward to as well.

I'm not going to criticise the RFL for any of the choices but I'm a little disappointed that Wales can only host one game and that it is at Wrexham. Of course they should be promoting the Crusaders but it would have been good to have a match against a RL giant in the south too.

[Griff9of13]

The only criticism I have is the choice of Ellend Road for the final. The most uncomfortable ground I have ever been to. I'm only 5' 9'' but was nearly crippled by half time, and couldn't wait for the game to end so I could leave (the way the 2nd half panned out 'wasn't the only reason)! But if that's the only stadium of approximately that size available then the RFL don't have much choice.

[brooza]

Well they only have 3 fixtures. One is part of the double header, so that can't be in Wales. One is against England and I'm sure plenty of people would complain if that wasn't in England.

Brilliant news, just briliant.
