You mean the annual Autumn series that they've also played this year?
Yes. My point (albeit originally not well put) is that given the importance of our WC next year, that if it's a complete disaster
again it could well be the last ever north of the equator. Surely even the dimmest bulb in Red Hall could see that high profile England RU games on the same dates as England WC games would be a problem:
Saturday, November 2, UNION Eng/Aus WC: Eng/Irl, Aus/Fiji
Saturday, November 9, UNION Eng/Arg WC: Eng/Fiji, Aus/Irl
Saturday, November 16, UNION Eng/NZ WC: Quarter Finals !
All the media attention will be on Twickers, & any meager hope of being able to properly promote the game to a wider public will be relegated to Sky Sports 19 (or wherever).
