anyone think this could be a draw? at 16/1 at william hills- could it be worth adding to an accumulator?

26/1 with betfair exchange, not a bad shout.

According to that its snede and kpp who miss out, 4 forwards on the bench hill, cooper, lees, mcmeken

As if 4 forwards isn't bad enough 2 should be not even in the squad, hope you're wrong.

What's the weather like up in Newcastle?

Bright n sunny, rain during the night light wind

[Rene_Artois]

Taken 9 to 1 for England to win by 17 or more with bet365. Worth a tenner

Not my choice just what I read.

loads of coverage on bbc breakfast - would love wilkin or someone just to tell the people of the north east  "there are some tickets still on sale " - "come and join the family" this afternoon - "bring the kids" etc - a lot of people watching will be assuming its a sold out event 

[graveyard johnny]

has the team been announced yet?

[MatthewWoody]

I'm working at the time of match. 

Let's hope it's possible to watch the game with FITE without spoilers...

I'll have to go to a non-spoiler zone. 

Come on England! 

[Dunbar]

So, I am off to take my daughter to a birthday party as the wife is a wedding... yay.

Will follow the score and watch the game later.  Hopefully comment if we win and I'm happy!

I coach a load of uni lads, below was my group message to them this morning.

Game day for England boys, if you’re not interested in watching this game you’re dead to me

[bobbruce]

Can’t get there unfortunately but jealous of everyone going today enjoy. A good close game with England nicking it is perfect for the tournament as it will encourage a few more to go out and get ticket. I’m off to the pub see you on the other side.

In addition I assume they will be running the line in the next game?

Not sure if it has, but seen a head-to-head infographic on Insta comparing Luai and welsby, which would suggest Welsby starts at 6.

From the Superleague Insta account though.

Just watched them arrive off the coach. The Inflictor looked pumped! Shame the photos are too large to post on here, otherwise I’d share

Might be too much faff for you but I usually email the pictures to myself and choose the smaller size file option which can then be posted on here.

Someone please tell me Andrew Voss is commentating on this?

We best hope none of the backs/halves get injured . Samoa have got far more options on the bench. I don’t like Radley at 2nd row but hope Wane has picked right 

[anjado]

I think Samoa could have done with carrying another forward on the bench. 

[Welshleaguelover]

I want to be wrong but feel Wane is gonna regret not playing Sneyd and Ackers.

[DoubleD]

Ok I’ll say it, I’m starting to warm to the new England shirt

I agree. Hope we're wrong
