England will be beaten 3-0 in the rugby league Ashes<\/a> according to one former Super League and current NRL head coach with the host nation tipped to be \u2019emotional\u2019 in their play.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the view of current Sydney Roosters and former Catalans Dragons head coach Trent Robinson, with the Australian having watched the Kangaroos train against France.<\/p>\n

Robinson has a long-standing connection with French rugby league that dates back to his time in charge of Catalans for two years in 2011 and 2012.<\/p>\n

He was crowned Super League coach of the year in 2011 having guided the Dragons to the play-offs and despite leaving after 2012, he\u2019s remained affiliated with the club and with rugby league in France.<\/p>\n

Robinson is currently the French sporting director and has been present at the mixed training involving Les Bleus and the Kangaroos, with France opting to prepare for their World Cup qualifier against Jamaica in this fashion, rather than playing a warm-up match.<\/p>\n

Serious About Rugby League has launched a brand new podcast which can be watched in full on our\u00a0YouTube channel here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Australia to \u2018outplay\u2019 England in rugby league Ashes as 3-0 series win tipped<\/p>\n

As such, Robinson has been able to cast his eye over Australia and from what he sees, England are in for a tough time in the upcoming Ashes, which starts a week from today.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Australia will win three-nil,\u201d Robinson told the\u00a0Sydney Morning Herald<\/a>, before going on to explain why based on what he had seen.<\/p>\n

Robinson added: \u201cThere is an intensity about the guys and there is enough youth in there to bring some speed and dynamic play. I believe in their quality.<\/p>\n

\u201cEngland will come with a real emotional tilt. They will be proud and it will be a physical contest but I think Australia will outplay them on the back of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many hold the view that England would have to win the first Test, which takes place next Saturday at Wembley, if they\u2019re to have a chance of winning the series. The belief is that they could be able to catch the Australians before they\u2019ve had time to fully click, but based on Robinson\u2019s testimony at how sharp they look, that belief could be misguided.<\/p>\n

Tests two and three will take place at Everton\u2019s stadium and Headingley with both games sold out and the match at Headingley in particular likely to fuel an \u2019emotional\u2019 England, given the atmosphere that can be cultivated there.<\/p>\n

For Robinson, his attention remains on France duties with Les Bleus hoping to qualify for the Rugby League World Cup, something they will do if they beat Jamaica in Albi next Saturday.<\/p>\n
