England in dark over Tri-Nations Twickers plans

ENGLISH rugby chiefs say they have not received a proposal from their Australian counterparts about a possible Tri-Nations tournament at Twickenham in 2004.

Australian Rugby Union managing director John O’Neill claimed yesterday that the possibility of an autumn series involving England, Australia and South Africa was “on the agenda”.

But the Rugby Football Union has responded by stating that it was unaware of any formal proposal.
