Quote: FearTheVee "As an Englishman living in England, why am I interested in the Wales v NZ game and the Wales v Australia game? Or state of origin? Or the NRL?'"
Maybe interest wasn't the right word, I'd like to think most fans would be interested in any game of RL. The OP seemed to be suggesting that he was expected to support England though, which doesn't make any sense considering he's not from there.
Quote: FearTheVee "Why would I have any interest in going to Ireland games either? My point was play as GB and more people, like me, will be inclined to attend.
The game is not big enough for four nations trying to play at elite level.There's only about 100 people playing in Ireland, and about 150 know it's a different sport to Union.'"
Why would you be more inclined to attend GB matches than Wales matches?
