I personally couldn't care less if it's GB or England as long as we get Ashes series back on the menu.

We simply have to play them more often.

All of the replies seem to overlook that the Scottish, Irish and Welsh internationals have had a chance to play test matches and surely this is a motivator to up and coming players from those countries. Who probably would not have a realistic chance of making any GB team. I attended about a dozen games at the last world cup and believe me the so called lesser nations produced the better games to watch. Also the players selected for those countries gave everything they possibly could.
What we currently have isn't perfect but it is better overall for the game than a GB team.

I'd rather it remained as individual countries as it means that more players get the chance to earn international caps.

That said, to answer some of the confusion surrounding countries;

The British Isles are made up of two island countries - Great Britain and Ireland

The island of Great Britain is a country which is made of three countries - England, Scotland, and Wales

Ireland is made up of two countries - Ireland and Northern Ireland

The United Kingdom is another country which is made up of two countries; Great Britain (a country), and Northern Ireland (a country in the island country of Ireland)

Britain is a country made from the union of England and Wales

Did'nt the RFL have to drop the GB title to get Sport England Funding?

They did, later that money was stopped and we remained as England removing any pride in our international game. Absolute master stroke by the Union mob to ruin our game (goes away and puts tin foil hat on).
