Listen mate. The game should never have been played.

When we're celebrating that England were dire enough to 'only' win by 36 points, it's hardly a glowing appraisal is it.

Add to that the stadium and atmosphere, and it just embarrasses the game.

Let France and Wales play each other and the likes of Scotland and Wales, and lets start up a 'Barbarians' style team to actually generate some excitement.

It would certainly get people talking.

Course not mate


Scotland -24 and Ireland -36 were the bets of the century! As I said on another thread, thank the lord that the bookies haven't a clue about international rugby outside the big three.

Sporting Life really does cock its leg over the BBC.

£9 entry to the game?

I paid £12. Might have to have a word with the ticket selling bint if I got overcharged.

Bought tickets for all three and got a 25% discount as I was a Crusaders season ticket holder (more like they were struggling for numbers!!)
