They would have to sing four anthems then for each of the four countries, it’s complex. You wouldn’t then have anyone singing Flower of Scotland today as there are no Scots involved as an example plus would take a long time.

Some ex AB like Mehrtens and Fitzpatrick expressed concern over the last few days. Great excitement for this test; due to realization thst this might be a ‘resl’ tough nut to crack.

@ Tassies:
Great mate, good here too thanks. See you posted about Daly. Think he is very talented and waited longer than he should have for an England cap, Jones could have picked him sooner than he eventually did.
