That's a beauty . I bet he hasn't even seen a RLWC game yet

Anyone else watching this 'World Cup Winner: Ten Years On' programme?

A re-run of the final with the squad twittering their 'witty' comments in subtitles. Nauseating.

It says something that during England RU's finest hour, you can still read the comments and miss none of the 'action'.

Won't be watching it all.

Not at all. I'm not actually anti-RU. While I avoid club RU for being numbingly boring I don't mind the SH Championship and Lions, and occasionally even the Six Nations. Their balls are the right shape at least.

But that was like pulling teeth. A re-run with horribly naff tweets adorning the screen every few seconds? I'd have preferred them to provide commentary rather than that. Any broadcast that relies on 'tweets' deserves a slap. The 2003 RWC has been done to death. There was nothing there that hasn't been heard a million times.

Don't give me that 'jealous' boll0x. While yes, I'd love RL to have that sort of exposure, this was painfully rehashed, nothing more.


He's certainly building bridges. Even got himself a mention in the post-match discussion. He'll join the 15 code eventually, no doubt.

Moz on BBC Breakfast in 15 and we've just had a mention at the start of the weather.

1 Adrian Morley spoke fantastically well on BBC Breakfast this morning. Articulate, insightful and passionate. Not to mention patriotic. Seemed to go down well with all the presenters. Even got in some final encouragement to people to snap up the remaining tickets and get to Wembley. We'll done Adrian! Think it's great that in Morley and Peacock, we have RL props speaking so well and excelling in talking to the uninitiated as well as the committed about RL.

2. Caught a bit of RU, Wales v Tonga on BBC 2 last night after Coronation Street. What absolute garbage! Jonathan Davies described it as dire. Even Inverdale said he found it numbingly boring having to watch scrum after scrum. I know those at the top of the media can give undue weight to whatever sports they want. But after that garbage, what an opportunity for our game with England v NZ at Wembley being on BBC1 later. Come on England!!

Got a brief mention on the front page of the 'i' on Saturdayhttp://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/71296000/jpg/_71296014_isat.jpg" >

anything in any of the broadsheets today? Anyone?

and well done MOZ!

Not technically a broadsheet of course but The Times has just under half a page on today's semi final.

Well we were the main story on the BBC sport headlines

And ITV !!

The ratings for the England v New Zealand semi on BBC1 peaked at 2.83m (27.3% audience share).

I reckon the BBC and the World Cup organisers will be very happy with that.

And they all should be hooked now if they were not already
