Sooooo, this tourney then....

[Nic83]

Rumour has it NI, Scotland, England, ROI and the others will be having a 5 team tourney of their own over the summer.

I heard this would be the case if they all failed to qualify.

Anyone know how much truth there is behind this?

[Dan]

I've heard that there will be a tournament, but England wont play in it, looks like they'll do best to now though

FAI have sounded out GAA on Croke Park on it apparently.

[mchaggis]

England won't qualify anyway...

[JohnDoe]

The qualifying round has 5 teams and only the top 4 qualify to the semi's. No chance for England then.

good maths, did you learn it on the fun bus?

[FT9]

England and ROI will have new managers and could be doing with the games

[Nic83]

Would be deffo a worthwile exercise for all 5.

Especially the Scots, Welsh and Oirish as we all have a load of young players and only a few time capped players in and around the fringes

[FT9]

Scotland would ****ing walk it with the only challenge coming from the 6 counties

[Rocket]

it would be ****

wales, scotland and ireland could play each other fine

any game vs England would involve problems

That's true. I'm dying to see an Ireland England game though.

Maybe make England travel everywhere and block all their supporters at the iport

[irishgeo]

cops wont allow it.

secondly when was the last time that none of the "home countries" failed to qualify to a tournament,

I was at Lansdowne in 95 - I never want to be near an England game for the rest of my life
