Quote: Andy Gilder "Which is why those are the kind of games that the England Knights or a similar second tier England side should be playing, while the England elite side are taking on the Aussies and Kiwis. Maybe pitch them as double headers, Knights v Wales as the warm-up, England v New Zealand/Australia as the main course.
Gets the next generation of young players used to the international setup, being away in camp, learning new structures alongside players from other clubs.'"
I agree, but somehow we have to get speccies through the gates to fund it, and that is a major problem.
On a positive note I've just been told that there are only about 5K tickets left for Saturday, and only around 3K for the game at Wigan. Anything close to two sellouts would be great news.
