While I have little regard for the international scene, I can't help but think about how much the international game brings cash into the various associations.The world cup, and Euro Nations cup does raise the profile of the sport in every country. The rise in attendances after 66 helped no end towards the modernisation of facilities and each subsequent event has led to a bettering of stadiums in the host country. So I'd rather keep the internationals but send our reserves out there instead Back to the thread though England has an insurance system for injuries, but I remember France not having one according to earlier posts.
