Those sides look very well matched to me. Could well be a cracker.

The line ups have been announced for this mouth watering Test Match and are taken from Ipswichspeedway.com:

 

Ipswich Speedway are proud to announce the team selections for the Great Britain v Australia U25 Test Match being staged at Foxhall Stadium on the 15th October, start time 7.30pm.

 

Respective National team bosses Rob Lyon and Craig Boyce have selected their strongest sides available and both are clear on exactly what is at stake when these sides hit the track in three weeks time.

 

Former international and Australian boss Craig Boyce said “It was devastating to miss out on World Cup Gold like we did, so this young team are looking to serve a little reminder to the poms and the rest of the speedway world, exactly what they have to contend with over the next few years. They have the perfect roll model in current championship leader Jason Crump.”

 

New Great Britain boss Rob Lyon who came so close to taking his team of youngsters all the way to the World Cup Final this year was measured in his response saying “I can understand where Craig’s coming from and this is just the sort of meeting we both need to bring the best out of our sides. Even though it's still early days for me in the job, make no mistake about it, I have a very capable side who are extremely proud to wear the Union Jack and it is going to be one heck of a battle out there.”

Dead right SJ i would rather see that than one of the end of season fillers that we have.

[PhilK 150]

If that 14 actually line up on the 15th, it will be some meeting to see

Unnecessary quote.

[21st century heathen 220]

sorry just realised this probably needs posting elsewhere.. sorry can you move it for me mods...thanks

 

I thought that when I saw the title. But such is 21st century speedway that we don't actually have a place for test matches.

 

It's certainly worth highlighting, and it does look a cracker (more instead of pointless fillers please!!), and needs to be seen by the whole forum rather than hiding away in the EL section. Leave it with me.

It's a shame Ipswich is about 94millions miles away as this looks an awesome match!!

 

Wonder if SKY would be interested in showing this? With all their favourites riding it could be a good call!!
