Who is off to the game next Sunday? Really looking forwards to it, despite the disappointment in not being able to see Big Roy.



According to Nigel Wood there are no seats left, which is great news. Will we see a repeat of the famous New Zealand v Tonga game back in 1995?

wont be going but will watch it on tv what time does it kick off as i may be tempted to watch it in the pub

Got my tickets via RFL last night. Only £20 standing left.

I'm going, along with 4 others, west stand. I heard it was a sell out. if that's the case i'm very impressed. Expected 5 or 6 thousand

Unfortunately I can't make it as I will be in France, but good crowds for this WC are so important. Everything looks to be building up quite nicely with some decent sales for quite a few of the games.

Looking forward to this game,5 of us going. Hoping it may be a repeat of the thriller at Wilderspool in the 95 world cup NZv Tonga.



According to the tickets web site all seating has now sold out so that should be 5 to 6 k at least. With late ticket sales no reason there wont be 8 - 10k attendance.

I am probably going to pay on the gate. Looks set to be the best World Cup our sport has seen!

I would think there would be quite a lot paying on the day. Here's hoping for a good game and attendance.

Will people be able to buy standing tickets on the day, I have a few friends here in Blackpool who have never watched a live match and are talking about going due to my enthusiasm

If the game doesn't sell out before now and next Saturday, I would think any remaining tickets will be sold by the club on Sunday. I would keep a check on the world cup tickets web site during the week or give the club a call to see what the arrangements are. I read on the world cup news page yesterday that seating tickets had sold out so looks promising for a good turn out, especially with adult standing tickets available from £10 and kids £5 in the West stand.

Samoa aren't as strong as they could have been obviously with Roy and Steve Matai out , they have also not picked a large number of their top players that are available.

They will play hard though , you'd expect , they are under a lot of pressure to perform.



I was at the only Test between NZ and Samoa , It formed a double header with England and the New Zealand Maori.

Typically the first 20 minutes the Samoan's were all over the Kiwis , some no names made careers for themselves that night.

The way they started I thought Crikey we are going to Lose here.

The Kiwis went on to score 70 points.

A game you do not want to miss will be the likely replay of that Widerspool game when Tonga finish top of pool and play NZ in the quarter finals.



This Tongan team is the greatest they have ever assembled. They are capable of causing a massive upset.

Got 2 tickets for NE corner for next Sunday & 2 for North Stand for the QF & that was £72 50p , which worked out cheaper than standing , which was all at £20 because all the West tickets had sold out which apparently meant the price offer no longer existed.
