You are. Union is not an inferior game, you just do not like it. By bitter, I mean that whenever there is a great game of league, union people do not leap onto boards to post how poor it was. Not sure why you feel you have to

Yet he was capped 8 times by England RU

Union is an inferior game by a long way. If Union people saw a great game of League they'd love it instead of the garbage that they watch instead.

What's bitter about my statement? Is there anything in it that is untrue? 2 tries scored by foreigners; Brad Barrit, South African, moved to England in 2008 aged 22. Manu Tuilagi, born Samoa, moved to England initially illegally aged 13, 5 brothers all played for Samoa. Chris Ashton, former Wigan RL and England RL player. Moved to Union aged 20. Owen Farrell's father was a Rugby League legend; Debuted age just 17, GB debut aged 18, youngest ever GB captain at 21. Won every honour in the game including Golden boot.

All sounds about right to me. As I said, very impressive, make of that what you will.

All true, but why try to pick holes in what was a great result and a great game. If you don't like union, don't watch it

I'm getting reminded of the great Dutoni when I look at a certain poster on this thread.

Outstanding stuff from England. The pack was massive, Launchbury and Corbisiero in particular, but as mentioned previously we were much better for not having Flood involved. Was impressed by Farrell and he will rightly get the plaudits (although how he has been nominated for POTY is beyond me) but was equally good to see Burns in there too. We have two young talented tens now who can be competing for the shirt for a decade. Would be a huge mistake to ever pick Flood again.

Hilarious. League is much better without him.

In a similar vein, why come to a discussion forum called RLFANS and then be surprised when the users think League is a better game than Union? Yes, this thread is to discuss Union but it is being discussed predominately by fans of League. I discuss Union on here but I don’t go on Union boards to discuss it and I certainly don’t go on Union boards asking them why they think League is inferior – they follow Union and therefore think that is a superior game and League fans follow League and therefore think that is a superior game. Pretty straight forward logic

Interesting to see Sale getting whacked by 62 points today by Toulon . The Premierships only northern team currently bottom of the premiership are going to be lucky to survive this season. Could it be that the Premiership will be without a northern team next season? Newcastle might have other ideas but a Long way to go. www.independent.co.uk/sport/rugb ... 21007.html

You could well be right. The end of season mini-league play-off rules in the RU Championship completely scuppered Bristol last season after they had led the league all season. Sale are currently in a right mess and crowds are down too with the move to Salford.

The last Aviva crowd Sale got was pretty similar to Salford's average from last season. I'm baffled as to why they turned up in greater numbers at a soccer ground (and a dump of a soccer ground at that) in Cheshire.
