What a load of tosh.
This is what really annoys me about the RFL and the Communist Cap and the whole system atm.
The game was woeful. It's like watching reserve grade football at best, yet still it dominates "Rugby" in this country.
Ireland get all the plaudits for winning.........wait for it.......FIVE matches.
Well whoopie do.
As if that wasn't bad enough Brian O'Driscoll gets treated like a god, voted MOM etc etc
He is average at best. He would just about make the Warrington Centres (if Matt King was having a REALLY bad day
). Play him vs Gidley, Senior or Carmont and he would look like what he is, a very average rugby player.
Yet despite this the RFL fail to market our game as they should. Instead of promoting the game they drag it down via the CC. This is what makes me really angry.
Fantastic athletes, great skill and superlative commitment, handcuffed by an inept governing body who live in the 19th Century.
