I also think it is about time that Baskerville's contribution is properly honoured.

The RLWC could in fact be named after Baskerville given Paul Barriere's (another natural candidate for the honour) reluctance for it to be named after him. We should, in my view, respect the (late) man's wishes in that regard.

His name is used for the shield for the Test winner between you (GB) and the Kiwis already btw.

And as he preferred to use Baskerville (and had it legally changed to that), although the family name was Baskiville, most historians tend to go with the former to respect the personal choice.

I read about that although I never realised he legally changed his name.
A century ago it was common for people to adapt their names anyway, or it was in England. I'm sure 'Dally' Messenger is another

getting back on topic...

agreed that NZ should host a world cup...rather they host a 4nations solely first...to test the waters..afterall you can count the number of tests they've hosted over the last 10 years on 1 hand..(just about)

The game that never was. The (non) marketing of the All Golds game was embarrassing. My dad only knew about it when he turned the tv on and they were playing.

I knew about it for an eternity before.
It was just put across with about as much enthusiasm as a funeral and I knew no one was bothering (especially my mates i'd normally go the HJ with) so I didn't bother either
