Dont worry Wales have been playing internationals since 1907. And also won the right to be in this.

Forgive my ignorance-TNT magazine?
I agree, it can be done, and if it is it will be a big shot in the arm before the World Cup too.

When you say historically insignificant do mean history or the stuff that you remember? – both England and Wales have huge historical significance in international Rugby League (Wales were one of two teams alongside New Zealand in what is now generally considered the first ever full RL international played on the 1st of January 190icon_cool.gif

It would involve an overnight stay. If it is a 3pm ko, you could watch it and then head back north.

| if it's a double header, it's four hours long - the day will either start very early , finish very late or hotels will be involved
who gives a stuff? if you get a chance to watch England walk out at wembley you should grab it, you might have to wait another 15 years!

| It would be ideal for most people(I imagine)if it was afternoon kick offs.
I went to work last night and a few of my work colleagues where getting exited about the possibility of us going down to Wembley but all in agreement that it has to be a Saturday afternoon kick off,hopefully the RFL can provide this.

Who did they beat to qualify for the Four Nations? Exactly.
Wales have no current credibility as an international RL nation, and haven't had any since Rugby Union turned professional.

They beat France , the country that was in possession of the 4 nations spot , no matter what happens at club level , International RL has to remain on field performance based , ideally as competitive as is possible , and that is what we have got

They scraped a 1 point win against France, eh? WOW. Is that the very same France who finished last in the World Cup? The very same France who have been ditched as viable competitive opponents for England's mid-season test in favour of a joke game against a bunch of NRL Rejects? Sorry, EXILES
Wales had better discover plenty of Englishmen and Aussies with Welsh grandparents and be damn quick about it, assuming they are serious about restricting the opposition to winning margins of marginally less than 50 points come Oct/Nov.

1 Point , 100 points , its still a win , so unles you can suggest somebody else for the big 3 to play , it looks like we are stuck with them for the next few years , France will probably win the next Euro cup and therefore qualify for another go at us and the down under lads , thats whats called competition

| The RFL really need to go to town with this idea.
There should be a huge media launch down at the stadium over the next month.
Tickets should go on sale and should be a tenner if bought before the GF this year.
Tickets should be on sale at all the clubs, maybe even a competition for which club can sell the most tickets. Travel from all clubs.
Do not sell a single top tier seat untill the bottom tier has sold out.
Adverts on national TV at primetime with all the top players running around, see NRL advert!
A 'tournament ticket' for say £60 should see loads of people attend all the games.
Adverts at all RL grounds around the country.
HEAVILY DISCOUNTED TICKETS for big groups like local sports clubs and schools, drastic cuts like 100 tickets for £100 if you can sell them all!
Huge entertainment announced for the day, big band playing at half time etc. big opening ceremony for the tournament.
4pm kick off for time to get down to London and pre drink and plenty of time to get home afterwards.
This double header should be a sell-out, there is enough RL fans to do it.
Saracens got 40k, anything less than that would be highly embarrassing.
