What is the point of the rugby league World Cup? 1:08pm on 23 Oct 2008 Surely, the yardstick is the support the competing countries receive from their "fellow countrymen"!!!
How many Scottish and Irish fans will be glued to their sets during the tournament? How many Lebanese know the tournament is taking place - or have even heard of Rugby League? I've been an avid League fan for over 50 years and would love to see a true world-wide tournament. But as it stands, apart from France and Papua New Guinea, the other teams are largely just English, Australian and New Zealand players who can't make it into their own country's team. Still, I'll be watching every game - ludicrous rugby league is better than no rugby league!
