not if it effects the welsh,scots & irish national teams

I don't see why playing for a Championship select side would affect whether you play for a country or county.

I think it's a great idea.

C'ship rep side vs a SL club??

That would be a bit pointless. I reckon they would play a few teams warming up for the World Cup at the end of the season.

It's a good idea like.

With the amount of twinned clubs in the championship, the team picked would probably be the England Knights team anyway!

Great idea, I don't see any drawbacks to it.

won't work unless its mid-season. the better championship players will all be in camp / playing for "their" country at the end of the season.

Having pondered on it this arvo I think it is a brilliant idea, I hope the clubs agree to it!

Having suggested this before, I think it is a good idea, it just depends who you suggest they should play? , and should they compete in any competition?

Some may remember that a 'National League Select' played against New Zealand 'A' at Hilton Park in 2003. Anyone know what the international programme was for the home nations that year aside from the GB vs NZ test series? As MHL says, a lot of the potential players may well be tied up with their respective national sides at the back end of the year.

the celtic nations are a joke and a total waste of time
