I would be amazed if any of the games sell out - so those wanting bigger stadiums are just wanting the game to be seen with half empty stadiums.

The Four Nations format involves the Australia, England and New Zealand competing with one other from the hemisphere the tournament is being held in.

When was the last time France lost to a European side other than England? Scotland in 2001?
