Discussions have taken place for a revival of the Home Internationals Championship - without England but including the Republic of Ireland.

Seems a shame that England are not included. I think it would be a lot more enjoyable/worthwhile than friendlies. I guess we are just bowing to commercial pressures.

It will be better without England. More competitive. Those four countries are all of a similar level, or at least they could be if Wales buck their ideas up.

The English FA think they have moved beyond that now.

I think they're right. It would be fun once every four years or so but when they had it every year it was just too damned parochial.
