| Quote Andy Gilder="Andy Gilder"Probably because very few of the top Georgian players actually still play in the Georgian league, at a guess? The best Georgians are playing in France for example.
IIRC the Romanians have always had a team in the Challenge Cup since its inception.'"
I thought that the top Romanian players also plied their trade elsewhere though? |

i read last week that the romanian team in the euro competition, buceresti (spelling?) is made up of the best romanian players.
im pretty sure they play their games in romania.
1,000 turned up to see their game at the weekend.
also 3 or 4 more sub 2,500 crowds over weekend |

Seems a little 'pot and kettle' from you there.

You're quite new round here, aren't you 
That's exactly how it works.
It's one of life's contradictions.
You will also find that according to many on here the fawning RU friendly press never say a bad word about RU, and that examples of RU journalists slating games are frequently linked to the board by the same people.  |

fair enough. i still say it depends on the game.
when the union press come out saying its a global game and then the all blacks put towards 100 points on a 'strong' union nation like samoa you have to say that its a bit of an exagerated claim.
as far as i know the vast majority of folk esxpected england to easily beat the young, largely inexperienced wales team on friday.
i certainly did. that's why i had 20 quid on england -36 |

But you don't think people expected the All Blacks to whip Samoa.
If you know so little about union why comment upon it.
Making judgements with no knowledge, isn't that a definition of bigotry?

Rugby Union is not a global game by any stretch of imagination, still at least they are increasing the amount of games for the smaller nations against the giants of world rugby. They can only get better that way. League is very shoddy when it comes to this, take PNG for example, how many tests have they played since WC 2000, about 6/7 at most. They should have made the 4 Nations tournament scuedled for 2009 a 5 Nations tournament. PNG is the only country in the world where Rugby League is the national sport, at least the RU bodies look after the smaller nations. |
