    er..... I thought he started even though he was 14?

    I think a better question would be when did wigan not have a single player in the team for a GB game.

    I can start of with the third test v the kiwis in 1980, fairbairn was injured so didn't make the 15.

    must be other recent games but it was the only rothmans i had to hand.

    How the mighty have fallen. I can remember a time when the GB team was almost all Wigan (well slight exageration but you know what I mean).

    The pub discussion had completely missed that France game, it was sort of tucked away.

    1984 vs Papua New Guinea...from the 1990-91 Rothmans. Anyone know of any others since then?
