Twitter Talk: Australia should play Super League champions on 2020 tour
Fans have had their say on who Australia should play in midweek matches on their 2020 tour of England.
Australia coach Mal Meninga intends to bring his Kangaroos over to England for a big tour in 2020.
The Kangaroos boss has held talks with England coach Wayne Bennett about bringing his side to St Helens for a midweek game in the middle of a three-match Test tour next year.
Official details have yet to be confirmed on any dates or games though.
There has been a bit of debate on social media as to who the Kangaroos should face in games between their Test matches against England as they aim to make it a proper, old fashioned tour.
A lot of our followers have suggested the Super League champions should face the Kangaroos, while the three county teams in Lancashire, Yorkshire and Cumbria have been heavily mentioned.
