sorry meant to ask GB any chance of beating the Aussies AGAIN?

Mike, who is this Andy Robinson and what on earth has he got to do with the Great Britain team?

It depends on the players. If they come out like the overpaid primadonnas that they have been doing then no, they wont win. If they come out, proud to be wearing the GB shirt with real passion then yes, they may just have a chance. Richie HORNE (not Home!!) has pressure on his shoulders but there are enough "class acts" around him to carry him until he finds his feet.
My prediction is unfortunately the Aussies will win and then for me it's Go KIWIS!
And the Rugby League Aussie Team are the Kangaroos not the Wallabies

After the dismal display of team work from GB again NZ, I would still have to say they do not stand a chance at all.
I would enjoy to see them (GB) win and get into the final, then NZ will not get a chance to defend their title.
Richard Home, the new half back, has not played half back at test level before. This may have a bearing on the match.
As I have stated before, GB do not seem to have the 'finish' to certain moves. If the finish was there, a try may be scored. Without the finish, a try is usually not scored. For some reason, GB seem not to be up to the level of play of NZ. Whether this is a ploy by Brian Noble [GB coach], I would not know.
To answer about Andy Robinson, he is the rugby union coach of England, and perhaps GB.
Referring to the first win by GB over Australia, it was wonderful to watch. Apart from the fact you guys won, it showed the Australian selectors some players should not be playing in the positions they were chosen in, or moved to due to injuries.
I will be going for a GB win, or at least a draw, as this will get GB into the final, but I doubt GB will be able to do this.

The only way the Lions will win is if the Wallabies let them so that they don't have to lose to the Kiwi's again like in last years final at Elland Road

No i dont think so... it was evident after the world cup win that England had a better 'team' and thats why Andy Robinson got slated for picking a team largely of english players... and no offence... but we've been pretty shocking since...
I dont think we'll win a match... let alone the tournament.

There is always a chance it's on the day and the team who makes the least mistakes will win the game

Australia might let GB win so they can thrash them in the final. They have to beat Australia to keep NZ out of the final and they have sent their best player home.
