England v Wales (Bare with me)

First topic message reminder :

It's starting to look like a pretty decent shout now to organise this game, with the disjointed nature of club rugby, the dissapointment that was european rugby, and the contraversy of the 6N, it's easy to see why this game would be viewed as a natural climax to the NH season.

so, my views on euro rugby aside, what do we all think?

Have the 2 unions pulled off a master stroke, in stealing the thunder from the club game due to the failings of the club game?

Or

Is it just 2 greedy unions loooking for a quick payday where there was none previous?

What did he say?

Just that Wales are seeking redemption, and that it will be a full blown test match. All that you would expect, but puts to bed any fanciful notions of a fling it about spring funfest.

Yeah, weird. Somebody other than the overrated Owens needs to challenge Baldwin for that jersey. It's a shame Elliot Dee wasn't No.1 in Lyn Jones' eyes as I think he'd be a good shout.
