For those unaware it's the RU World Cup starting today. Contested across the UK for the next few weeks. Great opening ceremony, inspiring words from Harry. Game on, come on England.
 
Was just going to start as thread on this.
Looking in now and I thought quite a lot of black players playing for England...

**** me what an abortion that red kit is.

Wont start a thread but its Ipswich 0-0 Brum

We won't learn much tonight. A week tomorrow and Saturday 3rd will be rather more competitive!
 
What a shambles that disallowed Fiji try was.

How can a ref be allowed to go back on his decision based on catching a glimpse of a big screen replay that was for the crowds benefit.
 
I don't want New Zealand to win it. Rugby for kids down there seems like the Hitler Youth. It's such an important part of Kiwi identity that they must succeed in the sport.

Thought the same. Bet seeing himsen on a big screen makes him do summat about his barnet too
 
Quite enjoyed the opening ceremony.

I like the way they're supporting a worthwhile charity.

The pundits aren't ****s.

Crowd seems decent.

It's everything league isn't in fact.
 
It's a bigger game out the two codes in England. It's heavily advertised via various media outlets so it has the money to afford a decent opening ceremony.
If RL could break out of the M62 tunnel then who knows it could someday rival RU in popularity.
For me, RL club rugby is better to watch than RU, but the I much prefer RU internationals to RL.
