Not very often this happens

, but I agree with Smokey

Because the 17 who play for Scotland will be playing in some low profile competition somewhere in europe if they are lucky. Do you know what Scotlands fixtures are this year?

Would players wait until 28/29 to play for England if it (as it is now) was their only chance to play in a top tier international game? yes.

Do you know the last time Scotland played one of the big three in a full international? In your plan, Brough wont choose to ever play for Scotland because playing for Scotland means you are giving up on playing against Aus/Eng/NZ

as for Ferguson what is he actually giving up by nailing his colours to Englands mast?

I think there should be both competitive and financial benefits to playing for Second Tier Nations. I think these sides need competitive fixtures, and a chance to play serious rugby for Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Italy and France.

Is Willie Mason eligible to play for England yet?

Why



despite asking the above question no one has ever being able to answer it.

It would be the solutionto many problems.

What problems though?
