[QUOTE="Bullitt, post: 228161"] The club game and the international game in either code now have sod all to do with each other; Look at Ireland in Union for example... Ireland: ****. Munster: Arguably the best team in the world. Back to RL, I've decided from what I've seen that the sport isn't ready for a World cup. There's the one great super-power in the form of Australia, the 2 middle of the road teams in England and NZ, then there's a bunch of other amateur-Sunday-league teams making up the numbers. A lot of people criticized the RUWC for similar reasons, but we're not going to see anything like Argentinas meteoric rise in this World cup. It's a steady precession of part-time players bumbling around team-mates who they only met for the first time 6 weeks ago with the occasional "Big Game" thrown in for good measure. The crowd numbers are also abysmal. Not even slightly impressed with the whole thing. And before hand I was [b][u]really[/u][/b][u][/u] looking forward to it all. [/QUOTE]
