Thoughts and Predictions
England v Exiles
posted on 10/6/11
It doesn't matter where the teams are in the league, theyre inform players. Scoring tries and also, as i said originally, solid in defence etc . . .bother Welham and Yeaman are playing far better then Shenton and Bridge

i agree with you offy, and yes both teams not doing well, so it makes more sense picking 2 in form players scoring tries for fun in 2 poor teams, there both a lot better then shenton and bridge !! i cant speak for Yeaman but Welham tries have not been walk ins

I'm tipping the Kiwis because I think they have more players in form.
Are they going to play the National Anthem before the game? If so, what are they going to play for the Exiles?

I realise this game isn't a sanctioned test match and England can't re-call the English lads from OZ. Not that there is any great need for Burgess (injured) and Ellis because of there experience but it would of been a huge benefit for Widdop and his team mates if he had of been involved in this match to work on combinations for the future games......just a thought..

Looking forward to this. Heres hoping we get a bit of early biff to get everyone going....
As for the teams, injuries in mind this England team is about right. The form argument holds no weight for me, Welham especially is nowhere near international standard...

So where are the Exiles going to keep the trophy? Will they be able to take it home to the Peoples' Socialist Republic of Exilia?

Stevo wants the trophy for his museum

Great game deserved win for the exiles.

Deserved win for the exile's, but i was very disappointed in some of Englands play and some of the English players performances.
