More people watch it than the rugby lite version popular in Hull and a few northern towns. Toff rugger..Typical insular Hull attitude of too many in the city I am afraid.
The shamateur days of RU, and their attitude towards RL, lives long in the memory in large swathes of the north of England, well the M62 area specifically. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
I have no interest in any Rugby. I just don't like it. I've tried watching both codes, locally, internationally, State of origin, RWC, 6 nationa. It isn't for me Toffs rugger vs Real Men and their fatty fans makes little different. It's pretty much the same game. I didn't even know the "RWC" was happening until mentioned on here yesterday. I'm happy to keep it that way.
Hull FC started by some union playing ex public school toffs from York. North of Hull no one cares about rugby league.
Did you know about the Women’s World Cup despite less interest worldwide and smaller crowds? You will know when the Rugby League World Cup is on, despite it being smaller than the Union one the Fail and RH will be full of it for weeks.
If you don’t get the HDM and don’t listen to RH, you’ll have absolutely no idea it’s on, so I’ll have no idea when it’s on.
Namibia had a Lamb (aka Mouton) Burger on the pitch today. No wonder the Italians beat them. They were fuelled by Deysel as well. The combo slowed 'em down badly. They only got the trots.
