Now we are at the start of wall-to-wall coverage (over radio and TV) of the RU bore-a-thon, juust curious as to how many on here will be tuning in?

Usually the games involving the teams from the South Sea islands prove watchable (as they play the game in a more RL-style) and it will be interesting to see how Sam B goes if he gets a game, (if only to hear the posh boys crowing as to how he shouldn't have been picked in the first place).

Thoughts?

When does it start?

according to the big fecking advert when i went on Twitter this morning, it's today.

Has everyone seen that pathetic article in the daily mail this week?

Read this yesterday: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... clash.html One more reason why that boring shat and it's vindictive governing body won't be getting any social currency from me.

If its a choice between "The Thugs" & Saints or the World cup . It will not be the World cup.

It's going to be hard to avoid it. Radio 5 Live is already becoming super tedious with it's constant coverage , and it hasn't bloody started yet!

This tournament has been given blanket coverage in the national press for weeks now. The Guardian this morning couldn't even be bothered to publish the result of last night's game Leeds vs Cas. Those watching the games, unless they are RU fanatics will be very disappointed when it turns out to be 30 dubiously fuelled muscle bound freaks trying to kill one another and will be of very little entertainment value.

I'll probably watch the England games, more for the excuse of going out with a few mates to the pub if I'm being honest.

NO

Does anyone have any TV links
