Over 6 thousand more in 2008.

Rugby league, Australias number 1 sport if you take away Rugby and AFL

Don't you just love morons who quote figures that prove themselves wrong.

Last time I did maths 3 million was a lot bigger than 2 million. And you are including South African attendance.

As New Zealand has an NRL team I'll let you boost "super" 14s dismal figures with the NZ crowds though just to save your total humiliation.

On top of that yawnion has no free to air TV in Australia due to a complete lack of interest.

Yawnion has slipped behind soccer and is a fading fourth amongst the football codes.

An incredibly poor 9-6 at the break in Scots poshos versus the public school boys.

I recommend anyone watching on Sky to activiate the red button option, and change the audio to CBBC, where the current 'Gordon The Gopher' is doing joint comentary with the current version of Pip Schofield. It's almost making it entertaining. I especially liked the puppet saying that the Webb Ellis story is a lie.

This is an interesting game? I know Inverdale is Mr Propaganda himself but this has been painful. 3 minutes to set a scrum .

God to see Dallaglio agreeing with me.

Actually, i'm watching Warrington v Bradford but 9-6 tells me everything i need to know.

Has anyone explained the rules of Rugby to Inverdale? He does know that the idea is to attempt to score tries, doesn't he?

He's only got as far as Section A, paragraphs 1-8 Car Park etiquette.

He does a bloody good hamper i'm told.

'Jonny' Wilkinson has taken a knock. He's gone off. Bloody shame, actually. He was kicking some serious goals.

Just watched the last 7 minutes on my laptop. It's bad, it's god-awful to watch. I look at Rugby League struggling to attract the cowds and then i see this garbage being watched by 60,000 lemmings. I'll never understand the mis-match in entertainment .v. crowd size so long as i live. It tells you something when the BBC show slow-motions of goal kicks. WTF?
