Home Nations To Return

Wed Nov 19, 2014 7:16 pm

After watching a really passionate and intense game between the Scots and the Irish last week, the jocks locking horns with England who also showed that they actually do care! With Wales now having more talent on show than in recent times, would anybody like to see the return of the home nations to replace meaningless friendlies? I can never see this happening for various reasons! It was before my memory, sort ov just remember it! Surely this would be a fantastic spectacle?

Really won't get going didn't we play at Northern Ireland in front of a few hundred fans

Plus England wouldn't even consider to take part

2011 we played in Dublin in the Carling Nations Cup and, other than us and the Tartan Army crowds were sparse. And England won't be interested.

The Republic of Ireland were never in the Home Internationals. Northern Ireland were.

Make it a bi-annual event (in between major tournaments) and it might just work! :thumbup:

We could even have it the same time as the African Nations Cup, which would solve other issues too! ;)
