In tests between Great Britain/England and Australia held in the UK since 2003, the average score has been 26-14 to the Aussies

I would buy a ticket tomorrow if they were on sale.

Mcnamara was not in charge then

Trouble is you would lose the ANZAC crowd then which I would suggest would probably be more than the Welsh one.

Also when you consider the apathy shown to the international game by people (England v Australia didn't even sell the DW stadium out don't forget) how many will go to this?

You keep saying that the crowd will be appauling, yet avoid my charity bet Bazza.

You also don't go watching RL.

Sadly, you are probably correct.

As always Boris.

As always.


Polls on here don't really count for much of course but it's interesting to note that right now about 30% of people who have voted WON'T be going.



Clearly this isn't a good idea.

That is the key get bums on seats and make it an event, offer amateur clubs one free ticket for every two they sell and fill the stadium.

I however will not be gouing i cannot justify the cost for another trip to London. I wil however be at the other England games.

My only concern is that it is pointless Wales being there, they will not even be making the numbers up. They are even less competitive now than they were last year. It would have been much better for a Celtic nations team but that is another debate.

Bring back the old 'Tri-Nations' I say.

They earned the right to be there, so they get the opportunity to play against the best.

That's the best Welsh-qualified team I can put together, if all make themselves available.

Id go further than this and make the selling of tickets for central events and internationals part of the licence package. Each pro club is responsible for selling match tickets and gets a 'kickback' from sales. All clubs should be more involved as they have the most direct access to regular paying rugby followers

Good shout.
I think all amateur clubs should be contacted too, get the kids and people playing the game actually at Wembley. I think yawnion do this somehow, maybe someone who knows more can enlighten me a bit more.

It's a decent idea from the RFL, I'm just not sure that many people would travel down to London for it. I personally won't go and watch at Wembley, I'll go to the other games that are closer though...

Now start trying to replace those three and see what sort of competitive team Wales can come up with. At least if we were looking at GB for overseas tours two of those three may have been available.

We would be better with a French barbarians ie 13 french players plus 4 invitation players to make them competitive. Still keeps the core of the french international team but makes them competitive

Maybe.

Would depend on the date, but it something I would be happy to attend if my weekend was free of other pre-booked activities.

It would need to be Eng v Aussie to attract the best crowd I would imagine.
