    Home internationals

    According to the BBC:
    [QUOTE]
    Discussions have taken place for a revival of the Home Internationals Championship - without England but including the Republic of Ireland.
    [\QUOTE]
    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.
    Dreams come true. Without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them.

      Thats probably right but from an English perspective I think competitive games would be good between qualifying campaigns and would allow us to expand our squad.

        I think the reason the English are not involved is the possibility of crowd trouble.
        Did you see the size off those chickens?

            Well, here we are in a room with two manky hookers and a racist dwarf. I think I'm heading home.

                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.
                  .
                  Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



                  May the Lord bless this post.
