Quote Sir Kevin Sinfield="Sir Kevin Sinfield"Every other country in the world (in all sports) picks the best available eligible team, regardless of place of birth. Maybe nobody has told Wayne Bennett some backward thinking flat earth brigade find it unacceptable for England rugby league to do the same.'"
The last thing RL in this country needs is England playing Australia live on the BBC to be followed by post-match interviews with England players who have Australian accents.
It would further entrench RL's status in this country as a small sport.
The sport needs an England team genuinely represented by English players if we want the England team to be taken seriously by the rest of the country.
The same goes for every other nation in RL.
