Precisely. They put a rematch of last year's World Cup Final, played in a city with thousands of expats from both countries, in a stadium that can only hold 12,700. I know mid-size venues in London are scare, but I consider it small-time thinking.

The amusing part is that there is a warm up against Wales, they would be better playing last years squad v the squad that played France this year.
What will Wales do for them?

Grrrrreat, but we're talking about London town.


Give us a hard work out. Allow us to run through some set plays.
To be honest I think the Welsh lads will get just as much if not more out of the game.

Aye, right.

Like they did last year against a scratch England side you mean?

The Welsh being competitive in the short term seemed to be reliant on the Crusaders overseas players qualifying through residency. That idea has been scuppered by the UKBA.

One of the supposed drawbacks from an Other Nationalities side is that the players involved wouldn't take it seriously. With the state of the Welsh and French international sides at the minute it has to be worth a go - even a half-d Other Nats side would be more of a challenge than anything the Welsh or French have put up in the last two years.

Glad you agree.
As I said, it will be a work out nothing more.

Yeah sincere apologies to Jonesey and others, as we all know the Welsh national rugby league team exists only to benefit England and we are dropping the ball by not having a side good enough to help you guys out by giving you a competitive game.

After you have been so nice to us and all. You might have had a bit of a work out but unfortunately someone grassed up about 6 of our eligible players and got them deported. I have no idea who could have done this



CLEARLY we should have instantly had a team full of international quality Welsh players the INSTANT we formed a team, even though such a team should not have had a franchise in place of some "traditional" scouse suburb or pit village around the M62.

I'll tell you what Jonesey, your seemingly endless series of "does anyone else find this amusing?" threads posted across all boards, which all, without exception, contain as their main point some dig aimed at the Crusaders reveal the most hilarious thing about you is the desperate hatred you have for us. Which part of Widnes do you come from exactly?

I've thoroughly enjoyed learning the 13 man code over recent years, but honestly, SOME (though by no means all) of you that post on here are amongst the most bitter w4nkers I've ever encountered. I have finally discovered where the Drones get their whingeing poms jibe from.

When we play England we will lose, and lose heavily (unlike in the amateur internationals where we have won easily for several years now).

Sorry if that makes you irate and critical. But since neither I, nor you, are playing in this, I shan't pay any further attention to your gloating and criticism.
