UM... yes, they are!

The only reason they played for the other nations was because they were too young and inexperienced to play for the full England team. Given the choice im sure the would have chosen the birth country. This way they can and will at least know they are in the plans somewhere down the line.

For example, Danny Brough

RLIF need to bring in a rule that once you've represented a country in a match, you are no longer eligible to play for another country in any RLIF sanctioned competition

i understand the point... but the celtic nations now stand as a feeder side.

FU*K THAT!

was going to give you an argument, but then i saw your predictions

I'd go with

Cudjoe

Tom Briscoe
Lawrence
Watkins
Ainscough

Tomkins
Myler

Luke Burgess
McShane
LMS

Blythe
Ablett
Paul Clough

Houghton
Crabtree
Dowes
Ferguson

I maintain that, in order to help expose more up and coming talent to rep honours, France should be given a 3 match series

Game 1 : Lancs
Game 2 : Yorks
Game 3 : England (selection based on games 1 and 2)

This would give the new boys chance to play alongside established internationals and would give France an international that they've got a realisitic chance of winning.

Not great for the London youngsters, though. Maybe they should play Wales.

they were allowed to play for lancs in the war of the roses a few seasons back. dom peters turned out for us.

I consider that somewhat silly.

plenty of cockey accents to be heard round clitheroe i'll have you know

Who are they going to play though? All the European nations are tied up, and I think the Pacific ones are too.

I'd go bring back the origin game but for those not involved in international duty. Could get some very good young teams there, a competitive match, and they'd actually be competing against each other for something meaningful (a place in the full England side) rather than against a team that aren't too fussed if they get stuffed by a reserve grade side they weren't ever going to beat.

I'm sure Lancashire could field a semi-decent team also, although 3 of the 4 Lancashire teams are doing pretty turd at the moment, and the on that isn't doing bad would most likely have their best players in the England team!

How about the Aboriginals and Maori in a tri-series

They would be very strong teams and be great to watch
