i certainly would but i think the people they would want to attract would be the people not steeped in the game.

The population in this country would divide into a few thousand hard core RL fans who would happily go to Wembley or wherever to see it, a few thousand Aussie backpackers who might watch it and several million who either couldn't care less or wouldn't care enough to actually fork out to go and see it. It would be, at best, as well attended as a GB test match. I doubt you'd sell out Elland Road, or any other credible venue. In short, it would be a disaster and I would see no reason to leave the big crowds and stadia of Aus behind for the purpose.

Agree entirely. Throw it in with the MM weekend and you might half fill a big ground.
