Man of Kent Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 The Rugby League World Cup is coming to England between Saturday 15 October 2022 and Saturday 19 November 2022. 12 months later than planned, but bigger, better and bolder than ever before. The sport's best athletes will be on show as the men's, women's and wheelchair tournaments take place simultaneously for the first time ever. RLWC2021 can also announce that the men’s and women’s double-header final will be played as originally planned at Old Trafford in Manchester and are working hard to confirm other venues before the full 2022 schedule is released later this year.

Damien Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 1 minute ago, Bedfordshire Bronco said: What I wouldn't give for us to trounce the Aussies in the final The game really needs an England win, failing that anyone but Australia. It would certainly undermine their control of the international game and blasé attitude when they aren't even the best team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I'd have preferred NZ, but after recent events I hope it's England v Fiji 100% League 0% Union Just because I don't know doesn't mean I don't understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I'd have preferred NZ, but after recent events I hope it's England v Fiji Its interesting being a rugby league fan I think because I always think in terms of the overall health of the game rather than in terms of the teams I support. While I am an England fan, quite frankly if someone new was to win the tournament I'd be very happy. If England got to the final and were playing one of the Pacific Islands and England lost, I probably wouldn't be that bothered because it would be excellent for the sport as a whole and that would make me happy. Essentially I will support anyone playing against Aus and NZ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here I am getting annoyed at rugby league in this country left, right and centre and then this one simple paragraph has me right back in again. Bring it on.

thebull13 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 The Australians are already complaining about the short turnaround from their grand final to their first W/C game, which looks like it is 2 weeks between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I phrased that a bit poorly, I meant someone completely new, not just a rebadged GB cos if England were to win I wouldn't feel really like a new team had won.
