Totally agree and from the air I would not fancy trying to 'spoil their day' but I wonder if these American Air Wings have tanking capabilities
along with state of the art AEW support?
What will the British carriers have to maintain defensive air cover when they are out of range of land based support?
I am not convinced we can play this big boy's game, to have the best, we have to pay for the best. If we cannot afford top players, can we play in the premiership and if so for how long?
