Using the IRBs own figures, which were based on absolutely no research at all.
I'm pretty sure it will have had virtually zero viewing figures in China and India for example as well as the majority of South and Central America, which takes a big chunk of the planet's population out of the reckoning. |

As someone who works for Alzheimer's Australia I find his use of the illness to take a potshot very disappointing.

You are either a very poor troll or stupid.
28 billion watched the football world cup.
Now have a think about "viewing figures" and then come back. |

33 million is the real figure for the RUWC final.
and thats with a final in a very good time slot for england and france, and with england in the final.
lets see how many watch the nz final, especially if its australia vs NZ.
the success of this RLWC is that it tapped into the large TV markets in australia.

| A nothing story. Love has said that this years RLWC has averaged crowds similar to RUWC in 1987. The hidden meaning being, RL is finally taking baby steps and beginning to grow internationally. By comparing the two tournaments, Love has basically admitted League is behind Union but is on the right path.
Then the ARU Chairman has had another play at the local sport of at League Bashing.
