[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 656599, member: 12207"] So do I, and I love the Lions in Union because it's such a unique thing in Rugby, but even though we've long been playing "Great Britain" in League, it's always really just been England with the odd Irish/Welsh/Scottish born Super League player through in, so making England the primary rep team makes a lot of sense. It would be different if the Super League were a dual conference system where you had a league of Celtic teams throughout Wales, Ireland and Scotland of course, but anything like that is a long way off (would be awesome if it could happen of course). Precisely. Context is everything, and in the context of where League sits at the moment, it was a fantastic result. The entire tournament was effectively one big exhibition for the game, and in it provided some brilliant games along the way. [/QUOTE]
