Its obvious England need a different test at this stage than Wales and France offer mid season.

Yorks V lancs doesnt work. There no point flogging this horse.

I think a 1 or two game series against an Other Nationalities side would be more than useful until the next world cup.

Then i would have 1 england v ON game and rotate England v France & England V wales on an annual basis as a second game.

The problem with other nationalities is the desire to play for the shirt.

Perhaps the way to work an other nationalities team is to make one of the SL"foreign players" captain for the whole year and have some sort of fundraising element to the concept throughout the year, with other events as well as the games against England.

Also the ON captain picks the squad and the coaching team for the games. Its his team and you get picked by him so don't let him down.

Potential candidates throw their hat into the ring each year & The captain is voted for each year by the eligible players in SL at the same time they cast their man of steel votes and the announcement is made at the end of season dinner.

I`d keep the Other Nationalities tag but they certainly need a brand nickname & keep the green shirts.

Speak for yourself .... I hate Yorkshire.

He was confusing Hate, with Jealousy

I can gurantee Leeds are more 'on the radar' than all of the Lancashire clubs but possibly one, to think that the Leeds/Man U rivalry is one way is very naive.

Also most of the Liverpool fans I know quite like Man City (your enemies enemy is your friend and all that).

None of this is true.

the original other nationalities jersey was green
