It’s that big a sport that the first World Cup final in eight years, featuring the two countries with the biggest Rugby League rivalry on the planet (one being the host nation) didn’t manage to sell out???

The English side always takes it seriously. Never name a weakened line up and seem determined to win, look at the rhinos last year. Thought both teams gave their all in bad conditions (although storm were missing a few big players).

You could still but tickets on the gate ergo not a sell out and if it was a sell out there was a hell of a lot of folk who’d bought tickets and not bothered showing up judging from the amount of empty seats there were around us.
