I stood in the south stand last night in front of 2 RU gentlemen who after 20 mins were saying how one sided the game was and that the RU WC was much more comeptitve and evenly balanced. I nearly turned round to remind them of some of the outrageous scores in the last RUWC but i held my tongue. 30mins later the 2 gentlemen were silent as the Samoa's started the fight back. By the end of the game the 2 gentlemen where cheering the Samoas like ive never seen before and were still in the ground for at least 10 mins clapping both sets of players as they did a lap of honour.
Its a great example of how our sport speaks so many times for itself on the field. I really felt in the space of 60 mins of live RL we had convinced 2 people from another sport of just how good our sport really is.
The experience was awesome; both on and off the field!!
On the back of that game ive just bought more tickets for the Saints and Leigh WC games.

Those of us in the South stand were making that remark about 7 minutes from time when there appeared to be a lot of fans leaving as the game was finally put to bed. Must have been from Wigan ... they never hear the final hooter do they?

I don't know, I heard it pretty clearly at Old Trafford

Fans leaving reminded me of old Trafford .when wire couldn't be bothered to clap their own players off the pitch
