Call me old-fashioned but I think England deserve a better warm-up match than just a friendly against other England players.
In 1974-5 they played 4 F/C matches against States, and 5 other matches.

Six tubas in the same room? Yes, really...
My favourite were the closing Symphonies 3-6 with slightly unusual instrumentation and a jazzy feel.
