I've no interest in it apart from seeing how Sam Burgess goes on and couldn't give a rats backside who wins it. Unfortunately my workplace is littered with illinformed who believe kick and clap is the only form of rugby. There was more entertainmant in 10 minutes of the Leeds/Cas game last night than there will be in the entire boring, self indulgent, over hyped, over priced 'spectacle' that is the RUWC.

| Quote: WireFanatic III "I followed Union all the time when I was in high school, the '95 World Cup I watched avidly. Since I got into RL, It's amazing how dull and boring I find RU. But there are a lot of dull, boring people in the country so it's not surprising it's so popular.
I shall be watching Wigan v Saints tonight, no question. Especially as John Inverdale is fronting ITV's coverage of the RUWC. I can't stand that scum of the earth cretin. Shame he's not played another game of RU recently so someone else can stamp on his face.'"
Now I say dull and boring, but the only game of RU I watched and thought "wow, what a game that was" was England v France in the 6 Nations earlier on this year. England won 55-35 and there were 12 tries in the match. The only reason this score line happened was because England needed to win by more than 26 points to deny Ireland the title. If RU games were played like that one any normal time rather than because of clawing back points difference, then I might watch it more rather than the dull, penalty kick-a-thon's that normally occur. |

Funny (or convenient should I say) that the article fails to mention the fact that Old Trafford has hosted the GF every year since the first one 16 years ago. They make it sound like Man Utd are hosting it just to spite RU.

Its a NO from me. Whilst travelling the country and listening to Talksport I switch to Metallica the minute they start any World Cup discussion and very soothing it is!

You'd be doing a lot of switching over then Snaggle, I listen to TalkSport too and all I've heard on there is about the world cup, and you know that's too much coverage because all TalkSport talk about is football! |

That's the one! Oh that was sweet. I was laughing my Iestyn Harris off when I read that story.  I'm not one for doing a Phil Clarke and wishing injury upon people, but for John Inverdale, I will make a massive exception...... |

| Quote: BrianBradyHandOff "This tournament has been given blanket coverage in the national press for weeks now. The Guardian this morning couldn't even be bothered to publish the result of last night's game Leeds vs Cas. Those watching the games, unless they are RU fanatics will be very disappointed when it turns out to be 30 dubiously fuelled muscle bound freaks trying to kill one another and will be of very little entertainment value.'"
Thats why there bent |
