RLWC eve

[Phil W]

I can't wait for this and especially tomorrow here in Newcastle.

This could be the same anywhere but if you're up here over the weekend talk to people about rugby league and spread the word.

We're all ambassadors for the sport, yes some people might not have a clue. But rugby league takes over Newcastle tomorrow so let's spread the word and show our sport off. 

It's our chance to get more people aware and involved!

[Dunbar]

I am more excited / nervous today than I have been for 5 years. 

For so many reasons I am desperate for an England win tomorrow. 

[Desert Skipper]

While you’re up there, you could head out tonight and spread the word around town.

I’d start with Saba’s Sardinian restaurant and bar down by the quay / Tyne bridge. Their Sardinian sausage pasta is a treat.

[Eddie]

Top stuff Phil. I can’t watch the game tomorrow but am recording it and watching as live in the evening - can’t wait. 
 

Anyone know how many tickets they’ve sold for tomorrow? 

[Damien]

I can't wait. I posted this morning on one of the other World Cup threads that I felt like a kid on Christmas Eve and that is exactly how I've felt all day. It's a long time since I've been this excited about RL. The international game just adds a whole new dimension. 

[Sports Prophet]

Get your England tops on and have a great day everyone!

[Whippet13]

Been spreading the word in Jesmond, not an easy task as it's full of students with southern accents. Did however find a Turkish waiter working in an Italian restaurant who wished England good luck and asked for a positive review....

[Jack Russell]

So true, I've not been this excited since the last world cup. And I know it'll prob end in heartache but you can't top this.

Woke up in my hotel in Darlington. Put radio 4 news on and heard great feature about the game and a profile of Brixton Bulls. Will be getting to Newcastle soon and can’t wait.

Brixton Bulls get everywhere! Good on 'em.

Not sure if this is the best place to post this, nonetheless, enjoy the World Cup everyone, 12 months ago it looked like it may not happen at all and instead we have a potentially brilliant tournament ahead of us in terms of quality, attendances and legacy.

I think the whole thing will be belting and am looking forward to watching as many games as I can on tv in addition to the games I have tickets for.

Feel like I’m forgetting something… oh yeah, come on England!

[Gerrumonside ref]

Come on England!

Lets hope for a festival of great rugby league.

Those attending today enjoy yourselves.

We stayed up in Newcastle last night,our hotel had world cup special menu as well as a little display in reception. Good to see lots of different RL shirts at breakfast too

Which Italians is that.

The Lonsdale Pub should have the game on in Jesmond.
