With the EOYT why are the SH sides always disadvantaged having to always play away from home?


Surely it would be fairer to alternate each year?


Cost and convenience should not be the deciding factors - a level playing field should be.

I guess the incoming tours at the start of the year in the SH are meant to balance it out.


...but then you get bloody Georgia, Portugal and friends that come here. And France who send a B team to New Zealand...still disgusted that they treat a 3 match series like that. As if I needed a reason to like them less.


I really hope the Boks and ABs annihilate France. I have so many memes lined up for X and I can't wait to drop them on those twat French fans.

Saffex, SH travels to NH in November and NH travels to SH in June. What's not fair?

Maybe it’s because we end up getting the minnows from the NH that seems to make it look one sided


The last respectable side we had over was Ireland


When last were England, France or Scotland over?

England:2018

France: 2017

Scotland:2014


You're right, it has been a while. Dunno why we always get Italy and Wales lately . . . but in theory, we should meet the NH sides as often at home as we do away . . . British Lions years meaning we should receive France and Italy more often.
