Have the Australian Rugby league team any chance of beating Great Britain in Brisbane Saturday?

i would be reversing the question especially seeing that sean long is out. australia lost last time to great britain and heads will roll if that happens again on our home soil.\n\na lot will depend on the style of the refereeing.

Great Britain is a nation, not England, Scotland and Wales they are countries not a bunch of islands. Just as in the comonwealth they are seperate. Is Australia not part of the commonwealth as this would mean we could start picking your players instead.\nYou were well beat so get over it, and if anyones a cheat it's Willie Mason.

It's a defensive approach by England. Not entirely surprising. The Gabba test first-up is always the most difficult one. It does make sense trying to save this test, instead of having an unrealistic attempt at winning it. Australians traditionally have been weak at Adelaide and Sydney - easier batting conditions and a little more of spin. England could go with the combination you suggested then.

On the current evidence it is too close to call.Australia is still the one to beat but that aura of invincibility is over now.Others are beginning to fancy their chances now.This cup is as wide open now as was the one in 1996.My gut feeling is that England or South Africa will win it for the first time.No one deserves it more than England having made it in to three finals.

Australia stand a good chance, theses guys seem to be good at everything. The olympics, cricket, rugby etc. I don't think it will be to long before they are getting to the top in football aswell

Ha! Not much chance of that mate. I'm sure people play it here, but you'll have to get your gear ordered in from overseas. And finding a team will be really difficult. Try rugby. Or League. Heaps of people play it, and it's easy to find a team and gear.

The main contenders are NZ SA Fr and Aus.\n\nLets look at New Zealand. They have the best team in the world nobody can argue that fact right now. They have top players and the ability to adapt to any gametype. They have this psychogical thing at the world cup but sooner or later they will overcome that. I think its gonna be sooner as soon as next year actually.\n\nSouth Africa. Ahh yes the bokke. The country with more sport politics than well any other kind of politics. They have a good team a really good team. One problem though they never play at their best. Also they struggle to adapt to the Northern Hemisphere.\n\nFrance have a good team we all agree on that dont we??? They have home advantage so if they win we know why. They have been playing good rugby these last few years but not yet in the league of New Zealand. But they will be a force to be reckoned with.\n\nAustralia if they win will it be a surprise to you??? They have been losing a lot of close games these last few years, but if there is one team that can never be written off its the Aussies. Their ability to come from behind and perform under pressure is legendary.\n\nOther teams Ireland Samoa and England\n\nSamoa have a good team yes. Very physical and if they can get out of their pool next year(with sa and eng) and judging on eng current form they will, they might cause an upset or 2.\n\nIreland the one team in my personal opinion is gonna cause an upset or 2. They have a very expiernced team and when it comes to worldcups that counts a lot. Just look at the team Eng had in 2003. This team might win it, the only reason I said they are not a main contender is because they dont yet play at the level of the other top teams. BUT they have the ability and capacity to do so. Mark my words watchout for these irish men. \n\nEng well then there was Eng. They defending champions never dreamt they would sink this low but here they are. They will need a miracle and more to win it.\n\nI dont think the Northern teams are gonna make it 2 in a row. This one is going to NZ SA or Aus

Mate, you sound like me in my position, albeit a Kiwi living in Australia. Setanta is the only way we get to watch the ABs play England cause Fox here in Australia, for what ever reason, refuse to pick up the rights to England v All Blacks, as per the Grand Slam last year and the game last weekend.\nNot sure if they will do a streaming feed, but you can get live updates as bulletin points on www.allblacks.com. Have a look on www.rugbyheaven.com.au  as well and see what they have on offer. Am having a look also at another site and will let you know the outcome. Though, a live, streaming feed for zero dollars down may be tough to find. Will let you know.

I'm English, but there is no way that we will reatain the ashes. Aussie should beat us 4-0 with a draw I reckon.

Hey there Clive,\n\nI agree with you. The Australian side has gone through many years of flatness but has also undergone a period of growth and development which now seens to be coming together. Their attitude of it's not over till it's over saw an incredible rise in determination in their game against Japan. They continued to play and perform as a team. Add to those you mentioned Brett Emerton and John Aloisi and there is definite potential there to put up an acceptable challenge to Brazil and Croatia, who are both great sides. A win against Brazil would be fantastic but if they can contain them from not scoring goals well that is positive also. I think the key will be for Guus to play them in positions they excel in. Changes or corrections can't be made against Brazil as late in the game as they were V's Japan. When players were played back in their accepted positions the team performed far better. They are no walk overs anymore. They have talent and loads of untapped potential.\n\nCan I just add losing to Brazil, if that is the outcome, is nothing to be ashamed of and I will be proud of them no matter what happens. They could just provide a couple of the biggest upsets of the tournament. Let's hope so anyway.

I live in Australia and I follow the Socceroos and i belive that drawing brazil for group f will be a real big test for the team and Gus Hiddink.\nIf we beat Brazil (which probably wont happen) then they know that we can play international soccer with the big boys.\n\nGO AUSTRALIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No,not in group stages,but there are very strong chances that they might play in super 8,if both of them qualify for next round...\n\nWell who can still forget that quater final match b/w the 2 in 1996 WORLD CUP...
