| Quote Catalancs="Catalancs"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

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. |

| Quote Catalancs="Catalancs"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'"
It's actually made up of the best Romanian players from their own league, not just the Romanian players as that would just be the Romanian side. The argument used was that Georgias top players mainly play elsewhere, but I thought Romanias did as well |

1- PNG can only join the 3/4 Nations if it is financially viable. ATM it is barely financially viable without them.
2- I reffer the honourable gentleman to the RFU's treatment of Tonga in the last two world cups, and would suggest that RU bodies do, in fact, not look after the smaller nations. |

And what treatment would that be?
The RFU have nothing to do with running the RWC. |

Best game of the Heineken Cup so far today at the Millennium Stadium.
Looks like the gamble to switch grounds paid off with 27000 attending.

Excellent game & well worth the £15.00 I paid for me & my son to go. the Glawsterr fans certainly did their bit to crank up the atmoshere, although only opening the middle & lower tiers helped. Vainokolo was pertty anonymous when he came on I thought |

With Sale selling out Edgeley Park for the first time (IIRC) for the visit of Munster, is the Heineken Cup finally starting to capture the imagination and interest of English and Welsh fans in the same way it has the Irish and the French in recent years?
