That’s the best English backline in a long, long time - even if you start Brimson at full back over Welsby. Well done Shaun Wane. Tough to see who will miss out on the 17. I think it will be Harvard and Brimson.

Well that’s me on the way. Just arrived in Istanbul on route back from Africa. Can’t wait for Saturday!

The top tier tickets are moving. Not rapidly, but definitely selling. It’s only 546 that has moved hardly any.

Come on you lot… own up. Who bought it to get rid of it?

Please be the reason… please be the reason…

Please tell me you are attending…

No super group please… … we have at least 6-7 competitive nations in Australia, New Zealand, Tonga, England, Samoa, PNG and Fiji. We don’t need to hide teams away.

GET THEM ON THE TICKET SITE SO WE CAN WATCH THEM SELL…

I’m actually disappointed the 2nd and 3rd test are already sold out. I’ll miss the excitement of the dot countdown and sections disappearing.

Let me rephrase, we put them on a pedestal that they are unbeatable and that everyone one of them are better than our players. They are not. Yes, we absolutely do need to be at the top of our game to win. But the Aussies are not unbeatable.

504 gone up top!

We always put the Aussies on a pedestal - it’s like some form of deity homage. Pretty sad really. Yes, they are a very good RL side - the World Champions. But they are beatable.

The sport in England is run by absolute morons.

Enjoyed that.

Agreed. NZ have beaten an Oz side with many of those players, and that’s the same pack that only just beat Tonga last year. They are beatable, especially on English soil. But we need to play exceptionally well - and we are capable of it.

The bottom and middle tiers are going to look great…

Genuinely underwhelming. If they go super group…

Heard a rumour Wingfield is getting the No13 jersey.

Any top tier front row seat at Wembley is excellent. Great views…

550 down to 2 seats…

I think 552 or 501 were filled all the way to the back.

I think they have left last 6 rows empty in a couple of sections - but it’s not many seats…

This is genuinely exciting…

228 and 126 only have ticket each left. I might buy them just to say “they have fallen…”

547 (and 506) I think opened up on Friday. Tickets have been moving quickly the last 2-3 days so hopefully it continues… … across 549, 550 and 504, there aren’t that many tickets - 230-250 max(?) - so there is only really 4 x blocks on same with a significant amount of tickets to shift.
