England to get two Exiles games. Makes sense to me as the challenge was greater.



Hope the French get a decent match somewhere to continue their international development too.



How many of our lads should be in that side? Moss, SOL, Sam, Baby Josh, and who else?

Also, we're playing a 4N series, but without Aus and NZ. What's the point? 4 walkovers against Wales, PNG and France x2 wont tell us much in the lead up to the WC next year.

The aussies and kiwi's dont want to know this year so id rather play some test rugby and give all the 4 countries some time together.



And i cant see any team walking over PNG , most players call them the toughest team to play

It will probably do them and the international game more good than us. I suppose its something we have to do if we want to improve the international scene long term.

Exiles should be a 3 match SOO type series seeing there is little or no interest in a Roses series

Are we? Where did you hear that from?



Looking forward to the internationals and Exiles games this year. Hopefully I'll be home for the game in July and I'll see what I can do for the end of season internationals.

I'm already looking forward to seeing Charnley, Hock, Micky Mc, Mossop, Lockers, Sam tormenting the Welsh and French lads..

Cos at least if there's regular, more "high profile" games for the likes of Wales/Ireland/Scotland then maybe they can start attracting players on the edge of England squads to play for them instead. In all likelihood McIllorum or Prescott won't get a game for England, they could be playing for Ireland and making their side stronger.

This, instead of the Magic weekend, i really do hope Ah Van plays

Do us a favour and get lost Patrick. We aint gonna be signing you this century so you may as well button it.

See link; no PNG, just a triangular with Wales and Catalans Dragons in disguise.

My point being that folk are ready to criticise an event that doesn't even exist.

My misreading your post; while I concede that they won't be the challenges Australia or NZ would provide, they should still enable the team to find some cohesion.
