Its old, not been renovated since Euro96 and I believe was at a reduced capacity before lockdown as not up to standard. Sheffield is resistant to RL's charms too, the Eagles moving ground every year doesn't help matters.

England to play Fiji at Rochdale as a warm-up.

Was about to have a rant about this but will cut them some slack as remembered Rochdale has a large Fijian population and sold out their 2013 WC game and it's also to celebrate Rochdale Hornets 150th anniversary.

That will be a tough game for England. The Fijians have some superb players.

Which will be much needed as Samoa will give them a game in the opener, the pace then slacks off against France and Greece where I'd expect the squad to be rotated.
