Harlequins RU can get 50k to Twickenham, but we haven't the bottle or the nous for one England game outside the north? Sad.

Erm....What relevance does Rugby Union holding a game in its southern stronghold have to Rugby League holding one outside its northern stronghold?

Peeps have their day to Wembley on th CC final. Would possibly worth a punt but you'd end up with 14000 in a 90,000 stadium i reckon

I am baffled that the expansion minded RFL are again stuck on the M62 when it comes to the international game.
England should be playing Australia in London at one of the football grounds.
The final should be somewhere outside the traditional venues. Eastlands would have been better for promoting the game in and around Greater Manchester, rather than Leeds which doesnt really need it.
Elland Road is possibly the worst stadium I have ever been to - in terms of transport, parking, facilities, atmosphere. So I am guessing it must have been cheap to rent it.

i've come round to thinking that the stoop is actually a good idea
the 'sold out' signs for a rugby league game in london is actually good PR..
as for the football grounds....chances are they were'nt available?
