This weekend should be scrapped. The extra round undermines the integrity of the fixture list and could be better used for an international.

What was it about a fixturte against Cataln that persuaded you to part with your cash last year or an umpteenth fixture against the Bulls the year before?

Novelty worn off has it?

Great idea.

Well I think so, but I would say that!

I am almost certain that I would go watch Leeds v Saints (or Wakey for that matter) in Bristol and I am also fairly sure I will not go to Edinburgh and watch it on Sky. Also, as this would be a long term plan, it would be good to go to other venues each year and as G1 said, the novelty might not wear off if you went to a different city each year.

Not at all. I booked the hotel for next year the weekend we got back this year actually.

They are just boring matches. Can you see a neutral wanting to go to them?

Got to agree Emma , Booked mine week I got back too but some of fixtures are not going to make anyone wavering at last minute suddenly book IMO
