My ar5e!

I can't see the image

Not sure why? It is 32 international RL bodies/national teams logos

But there's more people in NSW and QLD than the rest of Australia put together.

and there's more people in Shanghai than the whole of Australia. I fail to see the relevance?

I don't see your point?
Are you suggesting it is not a world cup?

no I am showing that RL has a far greater International presence than many believe. I found 33 countries logos. There's at least 19 countries with RL bodies that didn't make this years RLWC.

Fishing JB?

Did you make that? There are plenty of nations missing.

I think that you'll find in the RLWC interviews that alot of interviewees will have Northn English or Australian accents despite not representing either country!

Exhibit A:

More Kiwi born players in Group A than Irish Born players. A quick glance sees 43 Englishmen, 37 Australians, 12 Fijians and 4 Kiwis in the group.

Not sure if you were fishing or not, but here you are JB
Exhibit A:
More Kiwi born players in Group A than Irish Born players. A quick glance sees 43 Englishmen, 37 Australians, 12 Fijians and 4 Kiwis in the group. 56/96 playing for their country of Birth (58.6%)
Exhibit B:
8 Samoan born players in Group B, with 21 French, 22 from PNG, 32 Kiwis, a Tongan and 12 Aussies. 67/96 playing for their country of Birth (69.8%)
Exhibit C:
36 Australian born players, 18 English born players, 8 Kiwis, 6 Tongans, 2 Scots and 2 Italians make up the 72 players in Group C. 10/72 playing for their country of birth (13.9%)
Exhibit D:
31 Australian born players grace Group D together with 11 Kiwis, 11 English born players, 9 Welsh, 7 Americans, 2 Cook Islanders and a South African. 18/72 playing for their country of birth (25%)

336 Registered players at RLWC 2013, 151 of which will play for the country of their birth (45%)
Australia 116, followed by England 72 deliver 188 players (56%), then New Zealand 55, PNG 22 and France 21 bring in another 98 (29%) meaning the remaining 9 teams will deliver 15%.
Fiji 12, Wales 9, Samoa 8, Tonga 7, USA 7, Cooks, Italy and Scotland 2 each with a rogue South African thrown in for fun are providing 50 players between them!

And the England RU team employ a New Zealand dialect coach and an Afrikaans interpreter who also works with the English cricket team. On occasions the golden boys from Twickenham have needed with Samoan and Fijian accents as well.

The Welsh, Italian and Scottish RU teams have had their fair share of Antipodean accents also.

Is your dismissive allegation relevant to them as well or are you just denigrating our game ?
