Hull KR boss Willie Peters expects coaches to think twice about sending players on England duty following last week's 'embarrassing' international against France in Toulouse.
The mid-season Test played out against a backdrop of widespread apathy, which was reflected in a recorded attendance of 4,500. In the absence of television coverage, the double-header – which kicked off with the women's Test between England and France – was streamed on SuperLeague+. The organisers have been heavily criticised in the aftermath, with England great James Graham among those to label the spectacle 'embarrassing'.
Peters has predicted major problems for the international game if future events receive the same treatment. 'As I said, I would never want to not let my players play for their country but certainly some coaches now will be looking and going: 'Why would we let our players go there with the injury risk if people aren't going to fully buy into what it's all about?’' he added. 'For me, that game should have been shown on TV.
