Quote: gutterfax "It's a dead rubber.......Australia will win by as many as they need to and given the expense many fans are going to attending games around the country, this might just be a game too far for some what with a trip to London next weekend.
For the record, the last time the Aussies played in Wales, 5,233 bothered to watch them hammer Wales.....I'd say 5,000 would be a great turn out given that before this RLWC the previous 10 RL internationals played in Wales averaged 2,657.
60,000 across the 4 games will boost the average.......good job IMHO!'"
I agree with that analysis 100%. However, because my good lady is American, I shall be one of the faithful in the half empty ground watching the Aussies commit a massacre. They should arrive at the final barely having broken a sweat other than the England game thye have had Ireland, Fiji, USA and the weakest team in the semis.
I have seen them twice so far and whilst they are very good, they seem like automatons going through their routines and do not seem to engender any passion or enthusiasm and, due to the remoteness of some of their match locations, Ireland and Wrexham, they do not, to me at least, seem to be any part of the general euphoria which has engulfed this competition
