Little bit of perspective. The 2007 Rugby Onion WC saw 12 of the 40 first round games being won by teams scoring at least 50 points, including 91-3, 85-8, 87-10, 72-18 and 108-13.

Watched the US of A beat Wales earlier and just watching Scotland v Italy on telly. So engrossed. This tournament has really shocked me. I thought it would be blah blah blah up to the semi finals (Eng v NZ) (Aus v a Pacific Is team). But no, i'm rushing home from work, downing the kitchen tools and i'm glued to the set. Whatever your opinions of team make ups, grandparent rules and all that bollax - one thing is for certain - if you love Rugby League you'll surely love what's happened so far??? I'd almost forgotten about my double header Wembley SF tickets on the mantelpiece.



Put the politics and club wranglings with the RFL to one side and just watch this fantastic tournament unfold.

................ and now I've just seen an outstanding try by Scotland, started by Brough and finished by Helliwell. As fine a try as you'd ever want to see. Brilliant.

If anyone is critical of any of the games so far in this world cup then please go and watch another sport.



This is RUGBY LEAGUE.



This game is far too advanced for you.



This is the game where TRIES are scored.



"THE GREATEST GAME ON EARTH"

As for the trolling accusations, I deal in reality and sometimes, when reality is seen by the insecure, they call it trolling.....I want the game to flourish and genuinely believe that it will not under this administration.....but I am happy to applaud most of the crowds to date.

I was of the same opinion pre tournament, but it has been a well organised festival of all that is good about RL, well done the RFL ( yes I know icon_rolleyes.gif" alt="icon_rolleyes.gif" title="Rolling Eyes" /> ) ,the fullish stadiums despite some nasty weather has shown the game in a good light, hopefully it will continue to the final
