You're frothing at the mouth now JB.......There is no RWC in 2013.......there is a RLWC though, which will compete head to head for attendances with end of season Union tours by the All Blacks, Australia and South Africa to the British Isles.
As for the pirates...good luck with that. Will they crush the farce like the storm have outrated the rabble?

using your logic....and I use the word under advisement, Saracens should play all their games at Wembley given they'd average 83k
Again, Australia is not the entire southern hemisphere.........and RL isn't even the #1 code in Australia, let alone anywhere else

| It wont happen but I said this a long time ago. Play RU 7's if you must but why not open it to league teams as well. GB1 & GB2 like you get in other sports at the games. GB1 could be Union GB2 League.

It can't happen because the irb want to use 7's in a pinky and brain like plan to takeover teh world...Tho you'd think they'd want Rugby League involved somehow, after all the Bulls did to single handedly re-invigorate the 7's concept in the UK...An attempt at reviving the famous Middlesex Sevens saw the rugby league men of Bradford Bulls overcome the best the Premiership clubs could cajole into playing on a sweltering Twickenham afternoon.'" rlhttp://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyunion/3032924/Bradford-left-in-sevens-heaven.htmlrl
...be kinda embarrassing and might lead to some awkward questions if teams consisting of RL players got Gold, Silver and Bronze

Back on thread.
The International Olympic Committee require a sport to be played in 75 countries for it to be considered.....that's why RL in either the XIII or IX versions will not be in the games for a while. All other conspiracy theories are just that...theories that have nothing to back them up

If you mean at their Home ground @Watford, then it'd be quicker to name the ones that didn't...they did quite well in the event games, tho a 99 yr lease on a 10k stadium @Barnet suggests that was short lived and not sustainable.
Quote: gutterfax "I don't talk it down....crowds of 7,000 or so at Penrith do that for me. The Only bone I ever had to pick with NRL fans is their insane world domination attitude, which given that RL plays second fiddle to fumbleball, is utterly insane.'"
Biggest sport in 8(or was it 7? meh) out of the 10 most populated cities in Aus...and has a broadcast rights deal greater than the played in three countries stupid 15...
Quote: gutterfax "It really hasn't sunk in yet has it? Nobody....and I mean nobody outside of NSW, Queensland and South Auckland gives a flying toss about the NRL or their TV deal.......the wierd thing is that most NRL fans that occupy internet forums spend far more time discussing TV viewing figures and broadcast rights contracts than they do the game.'"
You forgot 18,000 ppl in Perth...Oh and a slightly dodgy fella in Wellington.
You remember the link I posted to the seppo union blog? Did you go on there and have a dig about your fellow unionites thoughts on RL? I'm guessing not.

Now Dutts...err..I mean Gutts..teh only foaming on this thread has come from a brave defender of the union faith.

[quote="The Reason":3e09qe5x]Hi Andy
The Rugby Football League are in the process of reviewing the video that you are referring to. We do not condone behaviour of this nature and have contacted the player’s employer, Hull F.C., who have confirmed that they are dealing with the incident under their club rules.

| You totally miss the obvious fact that RL does not need International games, it makes its wealth and popularity on the back of its club scene.
That great test you are bigging up will not even be as big as two states playing each other in Australia, it will get creamed in the TV viewership, the audience and the $'s it is worth by SOO. In fact I doubt it will even get close to the weekly NRL viewing figures of 2.8mill people a round (in fact just looked and both games last year drew a combined audience of just 1.9million, yes the cream of Int Ru in the Southern hemisphere couldn't even match a single NRL round!). This years 4 Wallabie tests have so far drawn a TOTAL viewing audience in Oz of 1.75 million!
I would love a stronger Int game but reality is club footy pays the bills in Australia and England and tests just aren't that important or valuable to the game.
RU needs tests to pay the bills and even then the game in some countries is financially dire, hence why they are trying to develop better domestic competitions. S15 is so on the nose that they couldn't get a fTA deal in Oz, there viewing figures pull less than 100K people a game ffs. They are reducing the salary cap because clubs are going broke. I suggest you send your ideas for improving a sport to the ARU as they need them more than RL does!
Face facts RU is not stronger than RL everywhere, you might like to think it is but in Australia it is a very distant third sport and heading down to Aleague proportions.
