Why is GB being split into the four individual nations? There's no explanation in the article, and there should be. 81.158.2.235 16:05, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
- Simple the Celts generally don't like 'British' teams (especially the Irish - unionists excepted). As England has 85% of the UK's population, if rugby league was evenly spread then you'd have a mostly English team with the occasional Scot / Welsh / N Irish player. As it happens almost all rugby league is in England, the result is that Great Britain is largely an English team. There's no likelyhood of any games being played outside England because there'd be no audience.
- There are now some grassroot rugby league organisations in Wales, Scotland and Ireland (especially Wales). These organisations want to promote the game in W/S/I and internationals are the best way to do this, especially if they beat England occasionally. The downside is that most of their players are likely to be English but with a Welsh / Scots / Irish granny which means that England will not be as strong as Great Britain was. We are already outgunned by the Aussies as it is (though we thrashed them today).17:35, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:Great Britain rugby league crest.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
