Quote: A-Fire-Inside "There's no similar destractions this year and surely there's going to be more interest in this game, which is likely to be a hell of a lot more competitive even if it's not a full international. just think a predicted crowd of less than 5k is way off the mark!'"
You're right. It's not a full international.
It's not a half, quarter, eighth or sixteenth international either.
It's not even valid preparation for the Four Nations in Oct/Nov.
It's an exhibition game (it might even be a pantomime) which has no right whatsoever to be marketed as an international on any level.
It's most definitely prolefeed for the entertainment of the ted masses. Nothing more, nothing less.
Free entry couldn't persuade me to attend.
