Quote: Horatio Yed "Have a home nations and France running midweek games through the season every year, use those games UK BASED TEAMS for GB selection. This could go some way to stopping Welsh/Irish/Scottish players choosing England.'"
That's exactly my line of thinking. Ideally you would have 4 of the best players in their respective positions playing for the home nations going head to head in a GB trial. In that sense it would be beneficial when players like Brough, or anyone else who thinks they aren't guaranteed an England spot, to opt for a home nation which they qualify for, because that will be their best chance to prove themselves and earn their GB cap.
