Unfortunately I think a national TV advert would blow the RFL's annual marketing budget in 30 seconds. Money would perhaps be better spent giving every amateur RL club in the London area 500 tickets each and telling them they can keep the money for every ticket they sell.

We couldn't afford it even if our marketing teams had the brainwave to do so

We have rugby league fans who don't give a hoot about the four nations. What chance is there with union fans?

Look at Quins-There is nothing compatible about the 2 codes. One is a wealthy mans afternoon out with his chums, the other a good sport.

Thats from someone with a ST for both codes-well not union this year as last season was too much to take at the union games

we do have adverts running during the union world cup....its sonny bill & chris ashton

A prima donna and a fat faced little turd who famously turned and ran away from a one on one tackle.
Brilliant.

like it or lump it they are league products

They should have the odd advertisement in the London region for the double header.

Although in a 30 sec ad there would be more action than in a England Union game.

what a great idea!
lets get shaun edwards,andy farrell,jason robinson,chris ashton,shontayne hape etc to front an advertising campaign during a break in the kicking competition to tell people that there are 2 types of rugby, this one you are watching with all the money,hype and media frenzy and the one that they used to play which is faster,more entertaining,skillful etc and to buy a ticket for the double header at wembley, or better still get gareth thomas and jonathan davies to do likewise in wales!
that'll sock it to em

Not a cat in hell's chance of this happening.

I am not saying the RFL wouldn't think of this but the IRB would make sure it would not happen.
