Wales will face England in a one off international match on Saturday 17th October at The Gnoll,the home of Neath Rugby union club in South Wales.The Gnoll which has a capacity of 7387 is a joint Rugby,Soccer,cricket stadium that no longer stages first class rugby union matches. The game was originally scheduled for Newport but once again the union authorities saw to it that the game wasn t permitted use of the ground. Great news, would have prefered it to be in Newport for crowd reasons although I'm not sure how many people we can expect for this game. A sell out should be managable. I think this game should easily sell out, Neath is close to Swansea which is a good size city which wont have had the chance to see much RL in recent times. |

The game V England is at Brewery Field again now.
The game V Ireland is in Pontypridd.
I've mentioned it a few times but Wales should be trying to talk Briers into a few games for them. It would do the team wonders, especially Lloyd White having one of the best as his halves partner.

Not sure why the switches but at least a couple of Welsh places are getting games. The 3 way header should be a great day though.
Marv you going to head down for that?

Hence why I think they should keep Crusaders in the Super league dispite what has happened recently I agree. They have made some positive steps recently IMO, moving to Newport being one, that will put the pressure on Bridgend to build the new stadium or they could lose their club. If the new Stadium falls through they are established in the 3rd biggest city in Wales in a stadium that will be upgraded for the RU club. They should also make a few signings and field some youngsters next year which should make them competitive in 2-3 years. |

They wont be kicked out, weather they get the franchise in 2012 is another matter.

Will be fantastic next year if they play games around Wales as expected. One back in Bridgend, one in West Wales, One in Wrexham which is the best place to play a game imo as North Wales is just void of any top sports team since Wrexhams relegation. So they will spread themselves around and make it known they are the team for all of Wales!

Its not just that mate, North Wales is close to Warrington, Widnes, St Helens so there could be a new market of ready made RL fans looking for something different. |

Possibly mate, I need to see what IRL I am going to do this year, not going to G/F, decided against it, definatly going to Aus V Eng and Eng V France instead. was hoping to get around and see some Euro cup games as well, fancy Scotland this time though. Are you going to see and Sydneyterrainan cup games this year? |

Though I think a trip to Cairns is also in order  |

And the answer is, Iyesten Harris will be head coach and he will be assisted by 2000 WC coach Clive Griffiths. It was announced on the radio this morning.
