spot on



I have always tried to go to internationals to support GB/England yesterday I had a few Leeds fans to the rear of me who cheered on Hall and ignored others. Same with the Wigan supporters who only came alive when "lockers" had the ball. It was oh so interesting listening to the comments all club based and nearly everyone aimed at another clubs player. We need to break that down and get behind them as a team, putting aside club loyalties.



I am glad my fellow FC fans did not attempt singing Old Faithful even though the match was a celebration to the clubs 150 years.



We need a national song like union have, Jerusalem would be a bad choice and proved so yesterday. Sweet Caroline got the crowd going a tad yesterday adopt that ..............



and lose the mascot, its a bloody joke





Musical instruments are banned at the KC and should be everywhere

It's been that way for years. I remember an Ashes test at the DW and some Dewsbury fans spent the whole game abusing Andy Farrell. Very odd.

Needed free flags!

Its like many have already said our game is club based. Touring international games are just overblown friendlies because they are not a regular occurrence for fans to look forward to year in year out. We are very amateur with this kind of stuff and the media of any importance have no attraction to the game.

If there comes a time when most of the England team are playing in the NRL I can see the atmosphere becoming more alienated.

I agree with what another poster said, i think the fact there is no real dislike or needle in games against NZ as opposed to Australia who we see as a real rival and every englishman wants to beat, the atmosphere seems a bit more flat comparison.

There's more than a little truth in it. 2013 world cup final when the stadium announcer called out New Zealand there was mild applause and for Australia massive booing. Quite upset a Aussie in front of us

In the 80s & 90s when touring teams played against club sides, my dad & I would go along to the games, regardless of whether it was our team or not, and support them against the "tourists". Hence we'd then support whomever was playing for GB in the test matches too.



Don't know why supporters attitudes have changed in sport and why people have become so parochial.

Atmosphere poor here again today

Yep, looks a great crowd though

Problem is :



1 terrible game



2 we actually quite like the kiwis. It's hard to get really passionate without that genuine edge of dislike which the Aussies provide.

Dull boring game Nrl style grind. But very poor crowd just no atmosphere at all

Trust me, there was bugger all to get excited about, that's got to the worst England performance (in attack) I've seen in decades. Were we trying to not lose rather than win, fookin disgusting performance. Waste of money, good job it's not far to get home for me!
