I didn't realise playing for the Exiles was an audition for playing for England.

| How are the Exiles in this? This is why we haven't won an international tournament for for so long. We play well for 50 mins then switch off. The exiles have offered nothing all game.
I would be fuming if I was McNamara. A 5 minute lapse in concentration will cost you a game against the Aussies. We have to play for 80 minutes consistently against all teams.

If, as you claim, the KC is the place to be for drawing a crowd, then they should have no problem selling out for an important World Cup match involving England.'"
I claimed, if you bothered to read rather than just inventing stuff for your own benefit that the KC would have drawn a bigger crowd for this match than they have in Warrington.
FWIW, I expect that the WC match at the KC will likely be on of the best attended group stage matches. I doubt it will sell out.

Yeah Billy, stick to your attendance stuff, not silly suggestions like that, it’s far too much for some to comprehend.

Now I understand the Exiles, it’s a feeder team.

| Quote ="headhunter"Probably because the match is a complete joke. The Exiles are not an international team, there is no reason for this fabricated team to exist, no incentive for anyone to be interested as a player or fan, the whole concept is the latest in a long line of poorly thought out attempts to 'recreate Origin', which in itself is a flawed exercise. This match is an embarrassment to the sport, it's totally disrespectful, counter-productive and should be removed and replaced with legitimate international matches. The only reason it exists at present is because McNamara felt the need to bring in a bunch of stupid, half-baked initiatives when he was appointed in an attempt to hide the fact that he is totally incompetent and unsuitable for the job.'"
So who should England play to get some competitive practice?

... Oh alright then. Because England in order to be competitive team need competitive teams to practice against. This is basically a training session. The Exiles, are a team put together as credible opposition and to be fair they are. Certainly more so than France, Wales, or Scotland.'" In order to be 'competitive' with who? You think this match, with a lower intensity than an average SL game, is going to elevate England to the level of New Zealand?

At least playing against legitimate national sides would provide more interest and help international development.

Yeah, I figured that would be your answer. As I said earlier, your talking crap. Sorry.
There are no other National teams on this side of the hemisphere that England wouldn't smash, making it meaningless. At least the Exiles are competitive.

But it's more competitive than smashing Wales/France by 60, what good does that do England?

Agreed. They need to play somebody, and this is more competitive than a game against France or Wales.

He didn't say that. He said at 24-0 we COULD have gone on to make the Aussies sit up. We didn't. We have a lot to work on, despite scoring 30 points I think we need to work on our attack.
