1,000 free tickets each day donated by the RFL to 'Tickets for Troops'. A smart move IMO.

So why should the Army get in for free? What about members of the emergency services?

What about them? Do they have a similar organisation because if so, I am sure the RFL would support them as well.

It's a smart move by the RFL giving 2,000 free tickets away because it's relatively low cost to them, helps out a charitable organisation that attracts donations for the tickets, brings some good PR and brings in upto 2,000 people that may not otherwise attend and who may take others, buy merchandise, enjoy the spectacle and become regulars.

I'd also expect free tickets to be given out in the schools of South Wales.

So thats the Armed Forces and every school in South Wales.

Anyone else?

A good effort by Wales admittedly but you cant say 'Wales nearly knocked them out of the world cup'

Well you can. You did. But you were wrong.

Well there are 149,000 seats to be filled - 2 x whatever the screen area takes up.

They were leaqding at half time, to me that's a massive upset.

I remember France leading England 12 - 4 in a game a few years ago but you could never say they looked like they were going to win.

Oh, ok, so Wales leading by a big score at half time in a RLWC Semi Final is the same as france leading after a few minutes in a yearly test?

Troll.

To be fair, though, I don't think any of the team that day was actually born in Wales or had played for a Welsh club - they did have some class players who were born in England (Harris, Cunningham, Briers) plus a few Aussies (Justin Morgan, Mick Jenkins). Stunning few minutes when they scored three back-to-back tries though.

If you really want to know, ask Ryan Giggs.

I can't.

As much as I would love to my electronic tag forbids me to go within 200 metres of his mansion in Worsley.
