Looks like ticket sales for the England game at the Olympic Stadium are going very well, with part of the upper tier now open.

The "RL fans only buy tickets when they're cheap" brigade will probably jump on this, but I got an email yesterday offering half price tickets for all 3 games against NZ. Use the code BEINSPIRED - I'd already bought tickets for the Olympic stadium game but will probably use this for the DW and KC games

Called off due to lightening and water logged pitch. Both teams got to the ground. Will now be played Sunday afternoon, forecast is much better and should get 40k now.

If it attracts people to the game I'm all for it, they've just announced 15k tickets sold with 6 months to go before the game, I'm pretty sure we only got just over 20k in total for each game the last time NZ toured the UK. It's clear that hosting games in big London grounds draws the crowds.

Lebanon vs Malta this weekend too, with a player from Hemel Stags making the trip to Sydney for the game to play. http://rugbyleagueweek.com.au/lebanon-m ... ician-cup/

Well I thought the Fiji v PNG game was very high quality.
PNG played as well as I have seen them play, and really stretched Fiji at the end there.
As a Knights fan I was really happy to see how well the Saifiti twins went.
A year ago they were 20kg heavier and playing lower grades for a 4th tier country side, and now they are holding their own for long minutes against players who aren't very far below firstgrade standard.

18-16 to Samoa at fulltime.
A very competitive game. The lead changed hands about 5 times.

Two very high quality international games.

Re: International Fixtures : Sat May 02, 2015 12:54 pm  

Two superb games on show this morning. A tragedy that these games aren't on SKY, they deserve a much bigger audience.
