with scotland playing again tonight i have had a trawl through the scottish newspapers. the glasgow herald seems to have taken to the sport [url=http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/opinion/ay-oop-theres-nowt-wrong-with-scotlands-rugby-league-team.22631067latest article[/url Granted they mention union a lot but are quick to mention the skill and try scoring abilities, despite the unpromising headline

the daily record breaks off from their usual 10 pages of rangers and celtic news to publish this [url=http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/rugby/scotland-coach-steve-mccormack-expecting-2682940short piece[/url

meanwhile over in the capital the union loving Scotsman newspaper makes no mention at all of the game - let's see if they report on the result tomorrow.

expecting a glowing report in tomorrow's herald as their main sports editor was apparently at tonights game

Let's hope he's finally got away from the ground ! The queue of traffic was ridiculous afterwards

another positive piece from BBC News, this time in the Business section

He has been at all 3 Scotland games and has also done a couple of other feature/opinion articles.

who would have thought we would get this amount of column inches in a scottish paper before the tournament started

Archbishop of York has tweeted support of England today

Many thanks to The Times for their third-of-a-page coverage of today's game. Or rather the trials and tribulations of Steve McNamara.

Five pages on the Union friendly.

you sound surprised?
this RLWC has exceeded expectations, but Rome wasn't built in a day...an England win in the final would be a start though

What I don't understand is why the BBC evening news sports bulletin, both last week & this lead with bloody England RU that has been shown on Sky & not the RLWC that they are showing! - well unless you live in Scotland like I do & they haven't bothered to show the England game today....

it's a harsh reality, but Union is across the nations conciseness whilst League is considered a northern sport......wrongly or rightly, that is the reality.
