Quite, but why make things worse by introducing the CC?

RU play their internationals in massive Stadiums like Twickers, Millenium Stadium, Murryfield, Stade de France & Cork park and they are almost always full! Is it any wonder they generate so much revenue with some tickets at twickers going for about £70 quid. Say what you want about the game but they can pull the crowds in for their international games and also generate a hell of a lot more media attention for them 2

Why can’t we get Wembley for our internationals this year instead of the JJB etc? We used to play GB games at Wembley and it makes the sport look a lot more professional imo if the team plays in the national stadium.

Clearly there's an appeal to the game that some here can't comprehend

FWIW, having played Union and therefore aware of the intracacies of the forward play, I can appreciate and enjoy a good game. However, good games are usually found in the Super 14 or Southern Hemisphere international grade.

Also, the kick tennis is annoying for a player as you're forever running up and down and adjusting the line depending on who has the ball. Personally I'd rather be running it up or about to nail an opponent; not watching two Full Backs try for their equivalent of the 40/20.



That's because it's the 6 Nations tournament....

There would be no point it would be more than half empty.

That five international games on the bounce isn't easy to win maybe? Especially when your playing against teams of the same calibre to yourselves.

Wigan can’t even win five SL games in a row never mind England doing it against a team of the same quality not an under strength NZ team or PNG

I was much, much younger when Jonathan Davies scored in the corner at Wembley but I was there and I’m sure it was full.

I'm sure we used to fill it out so what has changed?

I think brian Moore said the other week when England played Italy that it was around £85 a ticket

Give over.


For a start 2 of those are Italy and Scotland.


So that's the "Cas and Wakefield" of the Six nations taken care of.


Essentially there are just 4 teams in the Six nations that have a chance of winning.

So essentially win 3 games and you are guaranteed the title.

Add to this the fact that the skill on display was at the best "average" and more realistically "rubbish"..........


Now what exactly IS your point?

It was nowhere near full.

Well it was a good atmosphere and yes I was there.

As stated though, it gives the game more stature imo.


Playing internationals in the national stadium is important imo.
