Quote: Keith Swiftcorn "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.'"
Surely its better preparation than a one sided game against the French or the Welsh, even if there really is no competitive edge to it
