I don't know about playing the under 18s.

This is so unpopular that if it is played they'll probably get under 18 watching it.

I must be one of the very few looking forward to this! It should be a great event and is an oppurtunity to show the nation how much more skilled and fast flowing our code is.



With regards to injuries, it is much more likely that a player would get injured in a friendly game in our code than a friendly in their code. Bet our lads wont even break a sweat.

I'm glad I'm not the only one looking forward to it. The Bath games were great.

Anyone who thinks they won't care about the game now will change their mind when it kicks off. Wigan will be playing and any Wigan fan will want us to win.

I'm all for it and hope it opens the door to blue collar sponsor contacts.

Let's be honest, we should murder them at League but i hope its a hell of a close game in Union.

The problem is that it is a cross-code game with cross-code rules. The Bath experiment proved nothing, only that Wigan were the better league side and Bath were the better Union side.



The rules will be mixed between League and Union, but they slightly favour Union sides due to line-outs etc.



The fairest way IMO would be to play one half of league and one half of union, but use the same points scoring system for both halfs, maybe 5 for a try, 2 for a goal and 1 for a drop goal. That way it isn't easier for the Union side to rack up more points due to their stupid points system. The winner of the toss before the game could decide which half is played in which code. Play the whole game with 14 players on each team (middle ground).



If we play well in the league half we would murder any union team. Play like league players in the Union half and we could still rack up some points. Just look what we did to Bath at twickers in 96.



Whether people like it or not, the media will use this game to judge which code is better. If Sarries won then the media would hail Union as the better code, we can't let that happen IMO.

I've always said it was Wigan failure to play like League players that cost us the match at Twickers. Can you image the RFU, if we had won.

RU has evolved since then, they would steam roller us. You only have to do a quick size comparison of sam to the rest of the players in the barbarians game.



We'd be smashed at union at over 70 plus points and same vice versa. This penalty try fella will carve us up.

I don't think anyone had said they won't be supporting Wigan. I certainly haven't.

I will support Wigan from the distance of about 250 miles and through a feed of Bilkos tweets most probably.

I won't be at the game. I won't support the game.

I will support Wigan.

That would be just before the Olympics start in the summer and the Metropolitan Police have put a block on any further events at Wembley or the like this summer due to stretched resources so it won't be this date.



Has that been any other press releases about this game apart form the mention by the chancers from Australia?

I heard a rumour that it could be at Langtree Park, (Wind permitting of course

)

The Screwfix Stadium. That sounds feasible. They could sit the big fat Rugby Union props on the roof to hold it down.
