Fair play



That is one of the most factually inaccurate, misguided, generalist and bigoted posts i have seen i a good while.



10/10



(from a Scotsman)

I always consider myself British, not English.

If anyone ever asks me, I say

1. British 2. Lancastrian 3. English



Although when I've attended GB/England matches, I always wear my Classic GB shirt with the red and blue chevron, you can't beat it.



Also, in my opinion, the design of the England shirt has in the recent past been dreadful. At least this latest one looks decent.

Hate to say it but the England RU ones always look better.

My favourite kits in all International sport are the green & gold of the kangaroos, the red, white & blue of Great Britain (I know I'm biased), closely followed by the All Blacks RU, simple but right.

Unfortunately the lack of credibility of the international game is a stick that is repeatedly used to beat us as a sport. Just yesterday in the daily mail (parents buy it, I hate it) some anus by the name of Charles Sale had a dig at the lack of interest in the World Cup. It was the 2nd time I've ever seen him mention RL, the 1st time was a few weeks ago when he was making the exact same point.



Large parts of the media are pro-RU and anti-RL, and will use the lack of international scene as an excuse to continue to ignore our great game, whether domestic or international, and that harms us as a sport and us as a club in lost advertising revenue. This in turn means lower wages for players, and players leaving for RU/NRL

Correct WW.



The tournament needs to be a success on and off the field. An England win/final appearance would be a massive start to improving things as well.

I would say England without a doubt if I thought it would raise the sports profile in the country for any more than 24 hours, but even if they do it won’t.

Love the traditional Aussie shirts. (Not so much their new one as they've changed the colour slightly) As you say mate, simple but right.

The 1986 Kangaroo Tour, both jerseys, Aussies Classic, GB's Umbro, awesome !!!

Yeah i agree



I dont like the lack of a floppy collar. GB RL got rid of theirs after 2006(?) tri-nations and i did not like that either.



For me, a floppy collar is what distinguishes a RL jersey form other sports

When Wigan play, Wigan. When England play, England. I want them both to win for different reasons. Obviously Wigan are my club and the two cup wins this year were fantastic, but as others have said, if RL is to get any recognition in this country - however small - we need to win the WC.
