00:00Hi guys, Grace Hamilton here from the Illawarumoke Sports Team.
00:03I'm at Wynn Stadium this morning because we are celebrating 100 days to go
00:07until the Rugby League World Cup comes to Australian shores again.
00:11In late October, Wynn Stadium is hosting a triple header of the men's, women's and wheelchair games.
00:17The catch is, there is no Australian team playing.
00:19So if we want to come and support, we have to barrack for another country.
00:23Whether that's England or Sarmorhe or Papua New Guinea, Ireland, someone else.
00:28Yes, we do have to pick a different team to support.
00:31Now, I spoke to James Graham, who is of course a legend of the game, legend of the English team
00:37and former St George Illawarra Dragon.
00:39He said he is more than happy and he encourages Australian fans to not support England
00:44when they versus the men's Papua New Guinea team at least.
00:48The combination of a huge English crowd, and we all know how English supporters are
00:53when they come to sports games.
00:54The combination of that, and then everyone else supporting PNG, incredible atmosphere.
01:00So that's one opinion.
01:02Obviously, everyone can decide who they want to support, but buy your tickets because they're
01:07coming on sale soon.
