Damien 9,643 Report post Posted November 18, 2019 England v Tonga in the 2017 World Cup semi final and England v New Zealand in the 2013 World Cup semi final are both fantastic matches and occasions. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Frisky 729 Report post Posted November 18, 2019 Australia V GB - Sydney 2006 tri nations - best RL game I've been to - had everything. Sean Long master class, JP decking Mason and a great break try by Raynor. If you want a taster there is a cracking video on YouTube - Great Britain shut the Aussies up. Watch and enjoy!! 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kiwis couldn't handle the conditions even though it was the same for both teams - what a night. Official crowd was about 7000 - however DP is a 10000 capacity stadium and you couldn't move..... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cant remember the best Wigan-Leigh game I’ve been to. If you’re talking passport requirements then NZ-Samoa in World Cup complete with SBW slip was up there and the atmosphere at HJ was good. Wasn’t there but heard Wales and Inga’s mob down in South Wales was pretty good viewing as well.

That RWC was frustrating, what with so many matches being on the L!ve TV channel. I read about more matches than I watched. Tonga v PNG was supposed to be a belter, too. A match that led to a certain Stanley Gene being signed by HKR. Who owns L!ve TV's archive, I wonder? And I'm not just asking because of the Topless Darts.

Just Browny 6,934 Report post Posted November 18, 2019 Four Nations Final 2014 was a belter. Watch that and have a good laugh at the Aussies who say Shaun Johnson is/was no good. 3 Quote I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.
