Even so, plenty of shouts from Englands corner too

Whilst i agree with the sentiments of most on here it would be interesting to see just how all of the above posters think this could be done differently.

As far as i can see International rugby is pretty much booked up with 4 nations and World Cups.

Its unlikely a full ashes series/tour could be scheduled in.

There has been a feeling that International RL has been on the slide but i for one have enjoyed the recent Tri-nations series and NZ Tour and i think the International committee should be applauded for the work they have put in.

At least they are now making forward plans for a number of years.

Hopefully the alternate Ashes tours can be brought back in, but until then i would be happy to see the ashes played for in a one off game as long as both sides agree in advance and there can be no excuses.

Apart from Richard Lewis (who's never seen a proper Kangaroo or Lions tour) who?

The 4 nations is pointless, France showed how crap they are in the World Cup and England were not far behind.

It was always going to be Australia and New Zealand.

IMO there is plenty of time 2 play a 3 test series, it should be GB but there isnt any point as at the moment Ireland, Wales and Scotland don't offer anything to the set up.

scrap the magic weekend save a week there!
