Should have held it at Swansea tbh due to the fact its a brand new ground and not old and looking poor. I feel that is one of the big probems that Wales and Scotland have at the moment

My thoughts on Scotland too. Theres Edinburgh Magic and I think they should have used one of the all seater venues in the City for their game later this year. I know of Hibs and Hearts at least who have all-seaters in the city. I don't really care about sell outs, or how many seats are left over. I would rather have 3k fans in a good 20k seater stadium than a crowd of 2k in a 7k capacity dump

Great news for me.

Dave Parade is only a few hundred yards from the local.

but the football clubs have got to agree to it too. maybe their board/manager had similar views to alex ferguson about rugby being played on the pitch.

Is that a local joke Rodders?

Why didnt they just do it as a test series properly?

3 games at say, doncaster, leeds, bridgend, swansea, leigh, widnes, wigan? any ground that kind of size, make tickets c heap and back the fans to fill it for once.

Id go 1st test at Swansea, 2nd at Leigh (I know im biased, but new ground curiosity would add speccies) 3rd at Bridgend

I still think they'd be better off letting Wales and France play games against Lancs and Yorks than against England.
