[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 778409, member: 20956"] Not in every sport. Scots refused to get on board with the GB Olympic Football team in 2012. If I remember right the team was pretty much just English and Welsh players (who didn't sing God Save the Queen too) Also unifying the home nations full time is a terrible idea. Would ruin the international game and would stop a hell of a lot of good talent getting a chance to play at the top level. You can't really compare it to Cricket either, as Rugby has a much bigger presence in Wales, Ireland and (as far as I know) Scotland. Been a fair few years since a Welsh player last played for the English Test team, so not like anywhere near the amount of Welsh talent is getting to the top level of cricket when compared to rugby. Either way, we already do play as one team, once every 4 years! Doesn't need changing! [/QUOTE]
