[QUOTE="Patchey, post: 631458, member: 61403"] Yes, home advantage does have a big bearing upon any game. But then again, can you imagine England reaching the semi final or final and coming up against New Zealand or South Africa. At that point, facing up again a one of the two most mentally strong sides on the planet, I think home advantage is only marginal. In that situation it would, IMO, be more useful to be able to call on the experience of beating a Southern Hemisphere team at home. --- Wasn't the Churchill Cup stopped because USA and Canada wanted to play full tier 1 sides more? Two games a year serves little purpose, even of the squad was being coached well. I agree that the Saxons is wear most of our player development should be done. A good squad mixing future talent and potential EPS injury replacements, a good coach and upwards of five games a wear would be cracking. We can dream I guess... [/QUOTE]
