The game the other night was a combined ANZAC side. We played Cumbria and flogged them 64 - 12. Didn't have a punt on it though.

I agree the distance between these three sides has reduced significantly over the past three to four years. Australia are no longer the certainties they used to be. I think it has a lot to do with the quality of players we export to the UK and the Warriors side playing in the NRL. It is good to see the international competition a closer than it used to be.
