Have they decided to hold a League World Cup this time around? They cancelled the one four years ago because no-one could be bothered, or because someone had forgot to book the local sports domain or something.

Rugby League World Cup
The Road to 2008
The World Cup will be played at the end of the 2008 season in Australia to mark a season-long celebration of Rugby League's centenary Down Under.
The last World Cup was played in 2000 when Australia defeated New Zealand 40-12 in the World Cup Final in Manchester, England.
The 2008 competition will feature 10
teams with New Zealand, England, Australia, Papua New Guinea and France entered automatically. Five more teams will be selected from the Qualifiers which kicked off in April 2006.

No only needs a sub-forum IMO

It'll be a better tournament than the cricket WC too: fact.

I don't see how - England will still be dire

If expectation of an English win was a prerequisite for me I'd watch almost literally no international sport ever...

I figure it deserves a sub-forum at least

Turbinator · 28-05-2007, 02:50 PM

Oh shoot Canada's in this too. I didn't know we played Rugby

.

Anyways, I might actually give a damn about this tournament now.

Smudge · 28-05-2007, 03:44 PM

You might stop giving a damn after Canada plays the All Blacks next month in a warm-up match.

Perm · 28-05-2007, 03:48 PM

Canada are decent.

Turbinator · 28-05-2007, 03:52 PM

Hehe are they really?

A second-string NZ Maori team put 50 points on them. I'll be surprised if the ABs don't put a ton on the Canucks.

They can compete with teams like Japan, Tonga, Samoa, Fiji etc so they aren't that bad.
