They played it here to "promote" the game in the UK?
I doubt it, somehow.
So just more crassness and dumbery from a bunch of arrogant Ocker know-nothings.

the wallabies played the All Blacks in england as well didnt they?
what crowd did that get?
and the Bledisloe cup was played in hong kong recently and it was a sell out.
why is it other sports can do the exact same thing but the idea that RL will do it sends people scurrying away in fear.

so the novlety would be a big attraction.
the fact that it is very entertaining will also help more people become interested in RL.'"
Dally, have you been to the UK ever? (that is a serious question by the way!)
I actually don't think your idea is that bad, but then I also don't think it will help promote/expand the game of Rugby League in England as much as you think.
But as I said taking the origin game on the road in Aus is a fantastic idea and one they should look at in more states. |

You've stolen my washing
From out my back garden
You've tarmacked my driveway
Even though I said no
You've nicked my lead flashing
And weighed it in at the scrappy
Oh St Helen's tatters
Come rob me again:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_25852.jpg |

| You have to admire the way 2 ockers have stretched a half-formed thought into 16 pages of, ahem, "debate".
What's laughable is you cited examples of football and Rugby Union games being played in this country not involving an England side. As much as it pains you to hear this, both those sports have huge followings in the south of England.
On the other hand, if that game of Union had been played in, say for example, Manchester, Leeds or Hull, they wouldn't have got a great deal of interest.
You see what i'm saying here? I'll spell it out a bit clearer[sizeTHE 2 RUGBY CODES IN THIS COUNTRY ARE VERY MUCH REGIONALISED, THEREFORE A GAME OF RL IN LONDON BETWEEN 2 AUSTRALIAN SIDES WOULD NOT GENERATE THE DESIRED LEVEL OF INTEREST!!!![/size

People do recognise this as a problem - it's just that it's not one that will be overcome by staging a game between two regional teams from Australia. Now if Russell Crowe wants to come over and promote international RL or WCC then fine, it would certainly help to rasie the profile. State of Origin would not. This is not fear of Origin - why would anyone fear it? As for War of the Roses, there is no passion for this and it would only serve to highlight the regional appeal of the game.

I'm quite confident I have vision. I'd also like to think that know a little more on this subject than you would know Fredie.
By the way, I'm an Australian living in the UK.
