With just 14 weeks to go, are we looking forward to England playing no one?

Any predictions for who won't be in the squad or what the score won't be?

Does anyone know any good bars or pubs close to nowhere?

Should be the perfect warm up for no internationals in the Autumn too.

England being a curtain raiser for Fev would be absolutely peak rugby league.

I had thought that the Great Britain scraping past Burleigh Bears before going on to be utterly embarrassed in the 1999 Tri Nations was the lowest ebb. Turns out, I just didn't have the imaginati

Oh please. The French rugby league barely has 2 francs to rub together. Does the NRL expect Fiji RL to organise and pay for internationals? If the RFL had any strategic gumption they'd understand

After the Leigh game on Saturday, a few of us were discussing having a weekend in Cork in November. One lad questioned whether we should hang on booking until we know more about the England games. Fair to say he was significantly outvoted. I barely missed an England game 2008-2020 but the apathy is contagious. And entirely self-inflicted.

Brilliant. Could you just send me any official confirmation of this and a link to buy tickets?

Thanks. Do you know what the hold up is? The delay seems crazy.

No idea heard that Stade Toulosian had signed off on it last week.

Then had green light from the president to start work on sponsorships.

I know one or two bars close to nowhere. Nice boozers, ballache to get to though

Is that really 3 games spread over 8 hours ?!?! I love this sport, but I'd struggle to do even 2 of those games. Longs gaps between games is such a mood buster.

Wait until you hear that it's confirmation of the 1200 game that is holding the announcement up.

Fair play.. its not even apathy its the inability to understand that the conversation you are having are being had by groups across the country and families who are all having to decide on holidays to get the longest run in to pay for them. Most summer holidays will already be booked and part paid for for families (probably months ago) so anything put on now in the holidays will be hit by that. Just a bit of forward planning and people will/can work around it, its really not that tough to understand.

I can remember going to Old Trafford to watch Academy Final at 11.30, Second Division Premiership Final at 1.30 and the Premiership Final at 3.30.

Not possible today - games last longer and so do warm-up routines.

I also remember the ground filling up during the first game for the second. People did the same then as they do now - go for the one game they want to see and maybe catch some of the rest.

Those stupid, stupid warm up routines. Does anyone actually enjoy them? Does the RFL and NRL think they pass as pre-match entertainment??

Previously, at least in Aus, the teams warmed up on the training paddocks, the games were less than 45 minutes apart, and either there was some form of pre match entertainment (quite often pretty bad), or there was criticism about the lack of it. I HATE IT and I go to less games because of it, mainly the gap between games.

Anyway, sorry, off topic. Back on topic and to answer the question, I once went to this fine establishment, and it's my suggestion for a good place close to nowhere:
