Pre-Season game between the CC Winners and the SL Winners, like the community shield in football. Discuss.

No, the community shield is the most pointless game of the season. Load of crap.

Another game? No.

I actually think it'd be a great idea if played in an 'expansion' area to showcase our game. Good excuse for a weekend away as well.

You've already got Murrayfield, Catalans, Cup semi's/final and... oh wait

It would be a good idea if you can promote it as an high profile event to add to the game's calendar as a way of starting the season now that the WCC is played several weeks in.

But I just cannot see it becoming one.

I doubt it will attract many neutral fans, and playing at a neutral venue how many supporters of the two teams will even travel for what is still only a warmup game? And if it is no different to anything else in pre-season then what is the point of forcing two teams to use one of their practice games to play each other just for the sake of it.

So, no.
