Yes you can pay on the day

And who'd attend this match?

About 500/600 max.

Sure, but the main aim wouldn't be to draw the crowds, but to improve the second-tier teams.

Meanwhile, England are freed up to play a "rest of SL" side, which would be both more competitive, and, I'm confident, would draw a much bigger crowd than we'll see tomorrow.

If France, featuring 10 or 11 Catalans Dragons players, played at Gilbert Brutus and Catalans had the week off I reckon more than 600 would turn up, but hey! maybe you're right.

Crowds may not be the main aim but the French or Welsh Rugby League couldnt afford to lose thousands on such a game either, which they would with such small crowds. It is hardly going to improve French RL either playing against a poor Welsh team and never getting the chance to play against any of the bigger nations.

England against GB based New Zealand team a couple of years ago was as big a walkever as any England V French game and the crowd wasnt much better. I doubt throwing in a few Aussies is going to improve things too much. I also dont see how Englands only competitive Northern Hemisphere fixture being against a made up rest of SL side is going to improve international RL.

How poor are Wales exactly?

France v Wales and if England really do need to play a mid season game they could do worse than playing a Super League side including players who didn't make the England team.
