I believe this comment is aimed at me so I have every right to defend myself... Only sage here is you, stop making a fool of yourself, coming from a guy that now thinks that because Wakefield have signed Danny Brough that we will finish bottom? I expect London will finish bottom of the pile by quite some distance and you can run off back the championship with your tail between your legs after a season at at the big boy table. Maybe then you will go back to your boring self, getting your spreadsheet out and constantly talk statistics?

Can't be more than a few hundred seats left outside of that top tier so must be creeping towards 30k.

They’ve now opened tickets for the Upper East Stand as all other areas sold out. Think the Upper East Stand holds around 6-7000 of the near 38,000 capacity so if that’s all that’s left it looks like it’ll be over 30k for Sunday.

On for a record crowd for a NZ test, great news! Next challenge is get some international dates in the diary for next year and keep em coming back.

Anyone know if the matchday busses will be running from the station? Can only find info for Leeds United games.



Did walk back from there through Hobeck once after a football game. Never again!

yes they are i believe. they will go from the dark arches under the station near the scarborough taps pub



EDIT - [url=https://www.firstgroup.com/leeds/plan-journey/england-vs-new-zealand-shuttle-servicehere you go[/url They pick up on sovereign street now, near the Hilton hotel just down from the arches.

Looking forward to seeing how Greenwood gets on

No Tom Johnstone then?!?!?

Pretty much expected that 19. Greenwood had to come in as we'd run out of forwards. The only surprises for me was Hill and Tom Burgess swapping and Thompson starting at 13 rather than being the second bench prop. Milner looks like he'll be used as a rotation hooker whereas I thought he may start at loose forward.



We lack a bit of size on the bench IMO but nothing that could be done about it.

Yeah agreed and could be pivotal in this game, The one thing that could’ve be done about it is that George Burgess’ eye gouge was really dumb, unnecessary and rightly punished. It’s a good job for him that we went on to win last week and we’re 2-0 up.
