Rugby legend Martin Offiah hopes England's Rugby League team can restore some national pride in the forthcoming three-match test series against New Zealand.

Fans of the oval ball were left disappointed after England's early exit from the Rugby Union World Cup, but Offiah is tipping the League team to bring some cheer.

The Wigan and Widnes legend joined a training session with London's Newham Dockers at the Olympic Stadium, the venue for the second test on November 7th.
