But I think in some way having GB and not England on tour would help the other Home Nations. I mean, Danny Brough. Ok, McNamanara would prefer to select me or you instead of him for England (:P), but with GB and not England touring a player like him could play International footy on the big stage and still go on playing for Scotland, the team he captains.
Somethink like the B&I Lions in union. I think he would help.
By the way I agree – even if I’m not English but I can understand – people prefer to support England and not GB in the sport, but we’re talking about RL, a sport where GB and not England have been the historical National Team. The only European team to win a RLWC was Great Britain, not England and maybe people could be more passioned about it.
Then obviously having a Pat Richards (qualyfied as Irish) playing for GB would have helped sometimes…
International rugby league could rise from the Ashes
When they confirmed they were playing England in GB next season, I asked the official Kiwis Twitter account if they were going to play France in week 1 of their tour and they said it was possibile, but still had to confirm it.
I think it would be a great choice, even if a one-sided game.
As they showed in the World Cup, the French can make a sold-out for International games against top opposition and having the Kiwis in the South of France would be great.
