Quote J20="J20"But then your putting two events into one and hence IMO defeating the point of having the heritage round.
Also it's harder to honour your heritage with 14 teams there in a half empty giant stadium then with a two in a full (mostly at least) one.'"
Personally I think we should scrap the magic weekend as a club round. If we are serious about Rugby League we should have an International RL weekend (maybe at Cardiff/Murrayfiled/Newcastle etc)
Play Army v Airforce/Navy, Wales v Ireland/Scotland, England U20 v Overseas XIII or France and then the England v Exiles.
As Maurice Lindsay said last night in his interview, the International game needs to be elevated to the top for RL to get the kind of coverage it deserves. Sadly we have too many "supporters" who don't want to support the International game.
