[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg |

The RUWC is a really poor competition, honestly. RLWC by plenty. |

Re
The takings for the RUWC final in 2015 will outstrip the entire takings for the RLWC.
It will also have more knock ons, more forward passes, more goal kicks, longer scrims, to name a few other things it will have more of. Its for sure it won't have as much of and that's running passing skills and most importantly entertainment value.

3 different teams have won in the last 3 tournaments.
Total attendance for the last RUWC: 1,477,294 Mind blowing figure that. |

England, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand.
Sum total of winners in the Rah Rah's entire history of its world cup, with far more teams
RUWC 2015 winners will come from New Zealand, Australia or South Africa.
Hmmmm, three teams have a chance of winning. Bigger sport than us, you would expect others could win.

Well done, you have realised that rugby union is bigger than rugby league.
Do you want a prize?

 Of course it was. For that to be the case, it would have to be bigger than the FIFA World Cup. Why isn't the sport massively popular in China, India, Brazil, USA, Indonesia, Nigeria, etc. if that many people were watching?

Indeed. Ask Steve Pilgrim and Steve Ford about Union's "flexible" rules on professionalism in the amateur era.
Fine for those who were top internationals and getting paid in brown envelopes in the dressing room, but heaven forbid you associate with professionals outside the sport.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

So given a World population of about 6.5 billion in 2007, and an estimated total of 1.4 billion tv sets in the world, we can safely assume that two thirds of the total mass of humanity watched the RUWC with each and every tv set in the world having on average three viewers.
Sounds plausible.
