Quote:The tournament's organisers, England Rugby 2015, must sell 2.9 million tickets to cover the £80m guarantee owed to the International Rugby Board.

Somethings gotta give here...there are only 2,578,166 available tickets according to the listed venues, their capacities and the schedule published....112% ticket sales or 11% increase in ticket prices?

I think they have been a tad ambitious .. even the diehard RU fans are a bit dubious. I particularly can't see them filling St James' Park, Etihad and Elland Road without throwing cheap tickets out.

Disappointing for Leeds Carnegie to go out by such a narrow margin at Newcastle.
Would have been interesting to see all the internationals Newcastle have already arrogantly signed on the basis that they were going to be promoted playing at Doncaster and Nottingham next year.
Plus, anything that rains on a Dean Richards parade cannot possibly be wrong.

So it's them vs Bedford in the final and Bedford can't go up anyway right?

Had the radio on Friday morning and they talked about the Magic Weekend for a few minutes but not even a mention of today's Aviva Prem final. Club RU is just dwarfed by the international game.

81,703 at Twickenham.....hardly dwarfed.
Magic weekend is 7 games....will it get close to 80k?
I suggest you stop trying to put down the bigger and more popular code and instead, concentrate on the positives of TGG.......union is a far bigger code and all you're doing is making yourself look like a bitter little man!

Why are you twisting my words? And why are you comparing two completely different events?
Even when it was the Premiership final, all that anyone bar Tigers and Saints fans cared about was Lions selection.
This thread is about Union and not League, so stfu with your ridiculous comparisons.
