Its the same thing but maybe a stronger brand is the Lions ? If we ever get othe home nations up to standard or manage to produce a star ( Regan Grace) at least they will have meaningful international fixtures 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. A very generic we, but, we don’t understand it over here in England. No doubt a number of reasons, but we shouldn’t judge others through our bias lense. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly.. its silly because we are trying to build brand England then want to dilute that with "gb" which is just a rebranded England squad.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All for the odd edge case every blue moon. People always like to quote Regan Grace but there's not a chance he would get in a GB squad before any of these England players anyway. It just seems ridiculous to even think about it when England can go years without playing as is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm gutted we lost, but for me it's a slightly less bitter pill to swallow seeing that it means so much to them, and I'll be cheering for them next week. It wasn't meant as general advice though, feel free to remain grumpy for as long as you like 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guaranteed full houses and great advertisment for RL Now a Pacific Islands " Lions " team, rampaging across Australia and New Zealand (might even visit Europe occasionally if you could put up a fight) would be a mouth-watering prospect once a decade or so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please god no. Some people may want to cling to the Lions because of history but to purposely go down that path with the PI islands is crazy. They are each competitive in their own right and building something special, they should continue on that path. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
