Just looked on the englandrl website and there looking for a sponsor for the 4 nations who do you think we should get ( hope they dont get put off when reading this.)

before anyone else mentions it

The problem is the RFL don't have the finances to risk staging the game at a larger venue.

They can't guarantee the media publicity to promote matches away from the so called M62 corridor, compare and contrast with this afternoon when the Lions RU SQUAD announcement was live for almost an hour on Sky Sports News, Setanta, Talksport and 5 Live.

Can confirm the 2:30pm kick off is indeed because the Beeb will televise it Live.

Whilst on the subject of test matches - The mid season England v France test in Paris is Live on Sky on Saturday 13th June at 8pm - which conviently is right after our game in Wales. Sky have a TBC Super League match scheduled for 5:30pm proceeding that so would not be surprised if Celtic v Wigan is what gets picked in that slot.

I wonder how many Wigan players are going to be included in the England team that day?

Well if he can pick Peter Fox last summer then Ainscough may get a look in if he keeps form up. Who knows.

Anybody remember Jason Robinson's international debut?

Wembley v NZ in 1993 iirc.

Yeah, two tries in the corner. Great debut.

None, unless he goes all experimental and picks Ainscough.

Dont think Tomkins has shown enough yet to displace Myler or get in above Eastmond.

O'Loughlin and Hock usually end up in the squad - although after getting dropped in the World Cup, Hock might find himself on the outside.
