WHAT A WASTE OF TIME

Weekend Rugby results.

England 70-0 Canada
Scotland 100-8 Japan
Wales 66-7 Romania

Why bother. Full-time professionals versus enthusiastic amateurs. The games are played in front of half-full stadiums with no atmosphere, and do no favours to the minnows who simply have their noses rubbed in the dirt.

It would be much more useful if these minor teams played each other in a mini tournament, so each had realistic chances of winning a few games and so maybe getting some positive headlines back home and help grow the sport domestically.
