How else are London supposed to be funded???

Not getting the Brough love in, he played well for 5 minutes where he kicked a 40/20 and produced a nice pass for the try, but he bombed a try by making the wrong decision and failed to find touch with a penalty kick. He's been up and down in all his games in this WC, certainly hasn't been Scotland's stand out player that was Matty Russell

I haven't seen enough of Scotland's other games to say whether he's had a good tournament or not, but he was very poor tonight bar 5 minutes.

As for the funding, I remember an article from the Welsh a while ago announcing this cut in funding from the RFL so I can't see why they'd know it about but the Scots wouldn't. IIRC it was when the Welsh announced the new Welsh Academy and was along the lines of that there were to be separate governing bodies for home nations instead of all being the RFL's responsibility.

Does anyone know how much the RFL paid to the nations?

Thought the Scots did well, Brough kept trying to set up a score rather than damage limitation , the Kiwi's should retain the WC, if they had Brough or Marshall it would be a foregone conclusion

Are you joking?

The Kiwis have Shaun Johnson and Kieran Foran. Brough is not as good as either of them, and Benji Marshall has been out of form for two years (which is why Wests Tigers let him go to rugby union)!
