Do you follow that, tp?
If GB could beat the Kangaroos (ie, the Aussies at their "main" sport), then that'd really be something.
[edit] BTW I expect England to win at union.
I still think the All-Blacks are the real challenge: they looked the best side in the last World Cup, but then just didn't turn up for their semi-final, for some reason.

I do follow RL but not as closely as I did in Oz. Not trying to be controversial or anything but I would list Cricket as the number 1 sport in Australia. By pure participation it would have to be soccer!!
It is a bigger sport in Oz than Union though. As far as the Tri-Nations goes I think it's pretty much even at the moment between Oz and GB (would like to see Oz V Eng though ...) and it could go either way. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see GB get up and win it. Even if Oz win it GB have definitely opened a gap to NZ.
As for the Union, you would have to say that the Bokke were the best team from the Southern Hemisphere after winning a tight Tri-Nations series down there. And to be comprehensively beaten by Eng on the weekend shows that England are definitely back and on form should do Oz this weekend as well. Oz and NZ form on this tour has been pretty bad, very disappointing to see really. AB's seem to choke a little bit in the big games (sorry kiwi's, but it's true! and I support NZ behind Oz in everything ...)
Should still be a good game to go to and tickets are so rare it's one of those things I'll be glad to have done during my life. Another tick in a box. Hopefully we'll win as well and make my night
