its the good old rugby union calculator. they are delusional abuot how big their sport actually is.

hey guys , new to the forum but thought id reopen this topic. just a quick question , does anyone know if the 2013 league world cup is confirmed for the northern hemisphere, or is there a chance that it could be held here australia again? if so why is nz never mentioned for a few games. not jsut in auckland either

it's unlikely austalia and or NZ will host the world cup again in 2013..

okay cool thanks, so it will be held in england/ france. thats actually better for the game, but its so far away (time wise)! I went tgo a few wc matches here in aus, but now i have to wait another 5 years to see another one! hopefully u english will have improved by then.

shame about sonny fia , all over the news here, he was a really good player , the next sonny bill williams , but better lol

how can 28 billion watch the football world cup when there are only 6 billion on earth???

and China and India have 2billion between them.

4 billion for the RUWC?!

they add up everyone that watches a game...


if 1 person watches all 48 RUWC games they count that as 48 viewers

The guy commenting at nos. 51 and 63 buries the whole article...

Typical that the comments are more informed then the union sourced propaganda piece.

its going to be in england.

forget the BS about australia hosting it again, that would be dumb.

the next one is certainly in england in 2013.

and france and wales should also be hosting games

they also divide up a game into 4 segments (20 mins each) so during each game a single person watching all of it = 4 viewers.

The answer to this thread is surely

STIFF SHIT...

No they didn't
Now have a think about "viewing figures" and then don't come back.

on a brighter note more people watched the BBCs higlights of the England group games than watched the england union tests.

good to hear
