Got to tie up a holiday in the UK at the same time as the last couple of weeks as the tournament. If it all works to plan, then should make 3 games.

For the negative amongst us, hang your heads in shame for not supporting it.

At a quick glance i would hope to make at least 6 of them. Will try and make as many as possible

Will try for the 3 games in Hull and the double header in Cardiff, then will depend on where England are play to how many I'll go to after that.

As many as possible, can't wait.

Im a bit ed off that England vs Aus is in Cardiff so thats took the shine off it for me at the moment. Im sure i will catch the fever a bit closer to the time as i was really looking forward to it before they announced that Cardiff joke.

I read RLFANS every day, but as you can see I don't post too often! The negativity of a lot of people on here about anything and everything always makes me chuckle (its either that or cry, and I'd rather try and see the funny side). I'm excited about this World Cup, and everyone is entitled to NOT be excited if they so wish, but I can't believe the amount of people here and on other forums already writing it off.

The opening double header could hopefully see two closely fought games in a well attended (fingers crossed), dry stadium (Cardiff's roof ensuring there'll be no repeat of the wash-out at Twickenham in 2000; I was there and it wasn't pretty!).

Wales v Italy is just one of many games I think are impossible to predict the outcome of - Fiji v Ireland should be a cracker if it's anything like the 2008 WC game; France v PNG, France v Samoa, Samoa v PNG, Scotland v Tonga and Italy, Tonga v Italy, Wales v CI, Tonga v CI...all should be close, fiery encounters! Any match involving the South Pacific nations should be entertaining and lively because that's the style of rugby they usually play. And how often are you going to see them turn up in Warrington, Hull, Whitehaven or Leigh, let alone see the mighty Kangaroos run out at St Helens and Limerick, or the current World Champions grace Headingley?

There's more to international Rugby League than Australia, New Zealand and England, even if the eventual winners will be one of those three. It has the potential to be a fantastic tournament on the pitch - I only hope the RFL can do a worthy job of persuading the public (and RL fans as well!) that it's worth turning up to see in person. I honestly don't know how anyone can't be excited about the World Cup coming here!

RL "Fans" who moan about low crowds but refuse to attend themselves 18 months in advance are barmy and as someone else said, the sports worst enemy.

Rugby League fans will moan and complain about anything. I've noticed this a lot since being on here.

You lot who don't post so much should do so more!

Us optimists like Roughyed Spud, Sheldon, SEB, Conroy, leyther Matt, justarugbyfan and a few others need some backup sometimes!

First time in a while I've been called an optimist mate, cheers Jonny

You do fine on your own mate! //www.canadarugbyleague.com:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_2712.png
