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?

Possibly, although I think the pricing helped with the Blues game, I'll reserve judgement until after I've seen the crowd for the Biarritz game at the Arms Park in December. |

With maximum points from 2 games, that should also help boost the crowd. From memory its about a 12,500 capacity, so really anything under 10,000 would be a disaster.
Be interesting how much they get against Leicester in the EDF today. |

9815, according to be BBC. I suspect that it'll be much higher for the visit of Bath on Friday night, I remember going to to see them play in a friendly about 10 years ago & we ended up building our own terracing out of a pile of breeze blocks under the hospitality boxes at the River Taff end, there were that many in the ground. Victor Obugu got sent off that night for being chopsy, so that dates it.  |

winning like never before. decoys. mouse traps. chicken wings. lollie pops. shepperds. the crusher. grapples. big league. In 1935 The Dragon Slayers as they were known defeated Canterbury bulldogs 91-6, which is still the biggest win in the Club's History. In 1907, the St George district had a club in the Sydney rugby union competition. Interestingly, the team's area was referred to as the 'Illawarra suburbs'. A resolution to form a St George rugby league club was made at a local meeting held in early 1908, but the movement faltered and collapsed. St George, wearing the district colours of red and white, played in the NSWRL's Third Grade competition in 1910, and formed a President's Cup team in 1911. References were found at the time to district teams being called 'The Saints'.the perfect 11

The thing that gets me thinking here is that the same day England are playing New Zealand. What are England going to do if the clubs refuse to release the players because it falls outside of the international window.
