I would support a combined UK team in all sports apart from Rugby Union. If that happened the internation game would be destroyed! The Six Nation would become the 4 nations, with a weaker Ireland because Ulster players would be playing for the UK rather than an all-Ireland team. The Four Nations champion would simply be decided by whoever won the test between the UK and France.
What would happen to the near sacred British and Irish Lions? Although they could still go on it would be less.

Author: Dave (UK) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 19:34:20 11/06/04 Sat We would instead have a new five nations of the UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and France. This would be a much better tournament, where the winner would not be a foregone conclusion every year. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
