Great win for the lads today. Makes us all proud. On a side note doddy weir has just announced he has motor neuron disease. He's 46. Terrible illness.
The All Blacks (New Zealand) from a country with less than 4m. Will beat the Toffs from 4 other Countries with a combined population close to 70m. RU is a normal working class sport in NZ. Yet they need a combined nations to beat them and they will still lose.
RU at least has taken off in S America, N America, Japan etc RL has still to conquer anywhere outside the M62 corridor, and the odd outpost in the S hemisphere. And all the English RL teams needs Kiwis/Aussies to get up to speed.
The Lions create massive interest, wherever they play. The six nations creates massive interest. The southern hemisphere rugby championship creates massive interest. The RU World Cup generates enormous interest. The RL World Cup? Nobody gives a flying ****.
