England v Wales, 29th May, Twickenham

The only replay of this, which I know of, is this:-

 

[Hugh Jarse]

WTF is a "Friendly".

Soccer talk permeating Heaven's Game.

Any fixture between two Rugby Playing Nations is a Test Match. End of Story.

If you look at a lot of the comments in the Welsh media they have discounted the loss and the manner of it because "Gatland was experimenting". My well stated fear is that the club game in the NH is starting to take dominance over the international game and people there are going to accept the Soccer style of international that are only important for their World Cup and many players are not even available between those 4 year cycles. Certainly the NH clubs would like that. Playing into this eventuality the dominance of the SH is probably undermining the international game in the NH.
