It’s Rugby League World Cup Awareness Week

[jargan83]

Hopefully Fitzy and others with a sense of humour could put a show together for us Union fans. Inside rugby is about as funny as a fart in an elevator.

As predicted Aus and NZ in the final with an Aus victory, it all went to script nicely. You can quote me in another thread if this isn't correct by the end of next week.

France 2007, did not go to script. That is what I love about the international side of Union. Even league fans would have to admit an Australian walkover through the whole tournament is pretty boring. No sitting on the edge of your seat chewing your nail games, wheres the thrill in that?

I may watch the NRL rugby show and 15 minutes of the occasional game but I have not watched one game in their world/here's the trophy Australia cup.

Were you wearing your NSW state of origin singlet when you posted that?

At least with the origin series you don't know who is going to win. I doubt any of the international sides could beat NSW or QLD.

Queesnlanders would probably say otherwise, but thats becasue they're rednecks who are full of shit.

State of Origin surpassed International Rugby League a long while ago

I couldn't believe it when the fox sports news clip showed less than 16 000 people were at the World Cup Semi Final between Australia and Fiji last night. How pathetic is that. They had close to 80 000 at Twickenham on Saturday night!

60,000 turned out to watch Wales V Canada. 300,000 tickets sold all up for the 4 test matches in November at Millenium Stadium.

That's because despite all the bravado and big noting, when it comes to attending matches New South Welshman are full of shit.


Sorry, had to get one in for TOCC in his abscence

But it was stated on the ABC radio coverage that unless it is a "competitive" match in whatever sport that Sydney matches are notoriously poorly attended.

Interesting that, at least to my knowledge, not a single match of the tournament has been outside of the NRL states, compared to 2003's all inclusive approach.

Glad you had New South in front of the Welshman.

I consider myself an Old South Welshman anyway.

Original and still the best
