Quote: FireWire "Yeah of course. What I mean is the casual non-Rugby fan will tune in, and the only previous times they've seen an England v France match will have been in front of a full house at Twickenham. This won't look good in comparison.
I know RL will never compete with the international scene of Union, but surely they could have announced this tournament a lot earlier and chosen some better venues. I can't think of many worse grounds to host this fixture than Craven Park. France v Wales is being held in a 40 thousand odd capacity stadium in Lens, which obviously won't sell out but at least it shows a bit of ambition.'"
They always stick one game in Hull in every competition for some reason. Probably so it's fair for all those guys on the east side of Yorks. Granted its normally at the KC though which I don't mind driving over for.
There's no chance I'm driving in to Beirut though, worst ground in SL I reckon.
