After their historic world cup win, all we heard off the resident clowns of rlfans, like League Freak and Dally, was that rugby league was going to go through the roof in NZ and totally overtake union.

SO what has actually happened in the year since it happened? Anything of note?

Well you are a moron you see, so what happens in an entire nation would kinda slip past you quite easily.

Needless to say, good things happened.

If you wanna know what they are, google it you tard!

I have. All I could find that was that they struggled to beat tonga and their only professional team nearly got the wooden spoon in the NRL.

I cant find anything about the mass increase in sponsorship and participation levels that you yourself declared.

Because you are stupid.

League Freak again failing to dish up any cold hard evidence.

A bit like when he claimed that Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, Azerbaijan, The Pitcairn Islands and the Rugby League representatives from planet Jupiter complained about English referees at last years World Cup. I pressed for evidence again and again. Strangely enough nothing was ever dished up, i'll leave you to guess what the answer was.

Its not my job to run around force feeding you idiots information that you missed!

Honestly, some of these people....

There was heaps of interest in the Warriors early on but despite falling attendances the NRL has caused plenty of interest, especially as the domestic Air NZ cup and Super 14 have been of a poor standard and the All Blacks have been poor.

you'll know......if I aint got fox, where can i see the england game?

It's live on google. Probably.

Well things have changed in NZ since the World Cup.

Firslty, numbers are on the up. Not massive numbers but i do believe there were gains across the board through out the country.

Secondaly, Secondary School numbers basicly doubled! If Rugby League can get into Secondary Schools in NZ then you watch all the talent to come out.

Thirdly, i think the Warriors averaged 15,000 crowds for the year. Which is the best they have had in a long time if i do recall.

Fourthly, the Test match against Tonga recorded a profit. This is the first time in a few years i can recall a Test Match in NZ vs any Nation other than Aus or GB to make a profit!! Of course the last Aussie Test here made $400,000 loss i think.

And lastly the media is starting to take more interest in Rugby League.

I cant see the Kiwis winning the Four Nations but the development of these young guns will ensure a successful Quad Nations next year.

Also the match between Tonga and the Kiwis was the best i have seen Tonga play in years. It was a really good Test match and might prove what the Kiwis needed before playing Aussie...unlike last year.

I dont think you can TBH.

Well, we won the cup, and also ran the roos ragged.
England and france have no chance, it will be a new zealand - australia final..
