Mersey Tiger, short ride to Villa Park or Elland Road, surely? The England match in Manchester is a far bit cheaper than the other 3 in London.

SilebyTiger, you really think they should price it up at 2007 prices?

We can debate all we like. The proof will be in the pudding.

You miserable lot
I live in MK and will be definitely be going to a couple, either there or in Leicester. Kids tickets £7 or £15. Adults £15 or £20 at the two venues. What's not to like

My point was that it was clear there were divisions and problems within the ERC as long as two years ago. I would have expected the heads of the unions and the IRB to have got involved and knocked some heads together. It just seems the structures and governance have not worked. Why can't the IRB sen...

To me how people are appointed to the ERC and what the relationship with the IRB and to some extent the unions is still a mystery.

The club structure under each union is what they created or sanctioned. And in each case they have to work together, in terms of providing for the national team and the broader game.

Doesn't have the time apparently. What does he do all day?

We await a statement from the LNR. If they bail then the PRL will be cooked. If they stay with the Champions Cup they will be in showdown with their union. We are perhaps at the beginning of the end.

If the French clubs bail on the PRL then the English guys will be seriously pee'd of I would imagine. The French chief (can't remember his name) was so adamant. Can they really be bailing out? If they do, then I would imagine relations between the two organisations is going to go through the floor. ...

My reading of all this latest shenanigans is that it looks like the French clubs may flip back into line behind their union. If this happens, maybe even if not, I can see the Welsh regions doing the same. Unless the Champions Cup is much further down the road than it seems. With the unions and the I...

Personally, aside from Cole, I don't see why you wouldn't put all the England boys back in. They must be chomping at the bit. I think there are one or two have stated a claim from the LV matches. Gibson for one.

Wow, clearly old hat

Anybody know what we've got?
