They debated it on Boots 'n' All last nite, im in favour with Stevo on this one. Clarky sed he wanted the home nations and have the British Lions when they tour down under. I agree with stevo because how would Wales, Scotland and Ireland get a team without going on the Great-Grandparent Ruling? What do you lot think?

For once I agree with Stevo.(That hurt me saying that) We have stay as the British Lions. As a nation Wales simply could not compete. Like Shaun McRae pointed out about Scotland during the last world cup. They really struggled to assemble a side. Lets not go down that road.

Could always have England and then a Scotland-Ireland-Wales side. They'd manage a half decent squad then. Maybe?

We have to stay as great britain, england could make a squad but i doubt that wales,scotland and ireland could make a squad with players good enough to go all the way, plus we'd lose some good players to ireland and wales!
