It was a fairly good game in the end.
It's what's at stake that makes these things exciting. After all, when we watch a competition such as Who Wants to be a Millionaire, we don't complain that it isn't the highest standard of contestant, but it's entertaining because of the stake. Last nights game had more at stake for the players than a league game or a CC game would have for a pair of Sky's normal Thursday night teams.

Not a bad game all in all

Agreed. Well contested game.

Obviously not the highest quality, but very entertaining game between 2 evenly matched sides.

I fell asleep during it.
Okay I have had 8 nights drinking and getting up for work so it wasn't really the games fault but yeh, from what I saw it actually looked alright, better than I thought

Miserable b'stards the lot of yer.

I enjoyed it. I enjoy watching RL of any level - even the 5 year-olds at half time legging it round the pitch in a big gang at Wigan.

I doubt any of those lads will make it to any level at RL, but it was an entertaining game that swung one way then the other as Oxford came back from 16-0 down to win 32-22 (iirc). Some poor handling and amateurish tackling, but they threw the ball about well and there was definitely plenty of passion.

I'll never complain about RL being on TV.

I thought it was a good end to end game with plenty of entertainment on show

That was a good game with some good individual players along with some amazing lack of defence.
Entertaining all the way.

At least it "proves" that when the other twickers is filled for the rah rah version, Entertainment is deffo not at the top of the list!

Who did that nice Mr Paul play for once and remind me what his first name was?

Harlequins RU, wasn't it?

So a good and entertaining game then, as opposed to a "yawn".

Enjoyed, it seems, by all who admit watching it.

Who'da thunk it?

I live in Oxford and tonight I got home from work, whacked the telly on and the local news is talking about Rugby League. That's gotta be a good thing.

Although I live about 150 yards from where the Uni team play, I never see anything other than Onion in the town's papers and on the town's tv/radio stations.

It's great to watch any level of league including this game. Actually, I believe Sky should show a uni league all through the season, what better way to show the game truly is national (and international if you include Wales, Scotland, France and Ireland.) I thought it was great to see a game not hampered by the stereotypical tactics employed by the "top" teams.
