Agree completely, if this is to be played it should be in addition to proper internationals against proper countries. I'd prefer us to avoid playing it at all and play PNG, France, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa anyone basically. This is a nothing game that will hopefully go the same way as the execrable Roses matches

| How about taking an England game to Lang Park when it reopens to play a charity game against Queensland to raise money for the flood victims?
Loads of good publicity and a better opponent

As much as I agree with the sentiment.......I doubt ESL clubs would be happy to lose players during the season for up to 10 days.

Even when you compare that suggestion to such ideas as electric teeth, putting out your hand to stop an oncoming train or supporting the referee at a Hull FC derby match that is possibly the most ridiculous idea I have ever heard.

2 each from the 12 English clubs to make up the squad, have additional subs and unlimited interchanges to protect the players and re-arrange Crusaders to play Catalans that weekend.

Or better still...why not just make the England v All Stars game a charity fund raiser for the relief fund. Maybe even Play it at Loftus road/Craven Cottage and fill the ground with Anzacs?
The season is crammed enough without ANOTHER game to mess with it......

Compared with abandoning one of 3 credible international sides in the Northern hemisphere to play a meaningless match against a team of journeymen with no reason to care about the outcome and expecting it to attract a crowd it is a genius.
It may be stupid, but it is still far more sensible than the proposed 'international'

Who is this 'credible international Northern hemisphere side' you speak of?
I do hope you are not speaking of France.
France are so poor even the Welsh beat them.

They are a recognised international opponent with their own league, a history and tradition including a World Cup win and they are one of two opponents in the NH that have professional players playing in their own country.
If PNG are a credible opponent so are France.
We need to nurture France like the IRB did to Italy, regular games against ourselves as well as Wales, Scotland, ireland, touring sides etc;

The day France become a credible opponent in an international rugby league fixture against England, Australia or New Zealand is the day my dog learns how to speak latin.
