England Triumph Over The All Stars : Sat Jun 18, 2022 6:42 pm  

England Triumph Over The All Stars In a game which was dogged with apathy from some clubs, and degraded by player withdrawals, England took to the field to take on an International All-Stars side as they built up for their World Cup Campaign at the end of the current domestic season. Shaun Wane got to pick the cream of the available fit players but sprang several surprises, mostly through omission, while plenty of withdrawals for All-Stars coach Ellery Hanley left him with a number of selection headaches, but he was still able to select a strong looking side who on paper, who should have given the English a good run for their money. England were favourites with the bookies, but Wane would remember that his side were beaten by 26-24 in his first game in charge at this time last year. READ MORE ON THIS STORY...

Tough watch. Think we would've been better served playing a southern hemisphere team. Even if it meant us travelling.

Game had no real intensity.

Waste of time

Hopefully no knocks for the Hull contingent. Was there a head shot from Sao?

Can't remember. I glazed over after about 30 mins...

Nothing special. Most annoying was the constant chatter from the "experts". Someone should tell them to keep their mouths shut while there's action on the pitch

Was anyone seriously interested apart from the people who paid to watch. I only remembered it was on at half time but then again, I had a lovely tour of some of Beverley’s nicest pubs this safty.

Didn't bother with it, I don't even watch any games that are on sky anymore. Just glad Hull players came out seemingly unscathed. Apart from that couldn't care less.
