Boris Johnson having a go at Corbyn for not going. Forgive me if I'm wrong Boris but I don't remember seeing you at the Rugby League World Cup?

Well, we're into day 4, and I've yet to see a ball kicked into the crowd, or a 6'8" bloke being lifted up to catch a ball.

See, it can be done

Neither have i, I've not seen any of those things because i usually fall asleep

Well I saw a big bloke being lifted in the line out at least 3 times in the Welsh game, and I only watched it for 10 minutes at the most.

I noticed that the Japanese were well and truly stitched up. Four days between games at this level is ridiculous.

No Union fan myself, but they're obviously doing something right. Attendances for this tournament are incredible.

So, that was all over rather quickly. Hey-ho.

Re: Anyone going to watch the RU World Cup? : Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:39 pm  

Day 16, and bar a few seconds on news updates, not seen any of it.

Let the sheep be influenced by what the media tell them.
I'm no more interested in this World Cup, than I am by the World Cups of Speedway, Squash, Table Tennis, Show Jumping, Poker, Ten Pin Bowling, Pool, etc.....

....I don't see why I have to be brow-beaten into liking a sport I have ZERO interest in.

The media control this country of sheep. It's about time people started growing a mindset of their own.

Agreed, a lot of institutions will be severely out of pocket with England's early exit.
