If anyone’s selling or knows anyone selling 2 tickets I’d gladly buy them cheers.

If it's true that this is being played under international rules, then that means that the players could have a bit more leeway.

I was going to mention that, too, but was actually doing something much more important and vital to the future of our sport worldwide.

I did not realise Wigan Athletic were playing at home the night before WCC. Ground staff of the DW please please please do what you can to get rid of the football markings

Interesting, as this is an international competition under international rules I thought it would be a no brainer that the changes wouldnt apply in this match:

Have they really not decided whether things like captain's challenge will be used yet? We're only four days away from the match.

Look here, the match will be played under whatever rules the Australians tell the RFL they're having.

Anyone know where one can watch the game in London with likely good crowd & sound on?

It's just an excuse for the Aussies to put their usual pressure on the ref and get inside his head.

Yeah, that's what I thought to be honest.

[graveyard johnny]

bbc sports website fixtures listing this as the world club series- who on earth typed that?

A great gesture with Ashurst playing for both Wigan and Penrith:

I'm glad that it's going to be under international rules.

Nice to see the Bill Ashurst medal for the MOTM. A good gesture.
