And until RL has a World Cup which generates real international (and even national) interest, that will always be the case. The RU World Cup, sadly, is a far bigger event than it's RL counterpart.

by 2 or 3 more competitive teams you are probably right. However, the RU world cup is more hype than anything else, with the actual number of teams capable of winning it, not much diffferent to the League world cup |

The RU World cup means less to me than Michael Jackson's death or Kerry Catona's marital issues but they also receive a dis-proportionate amount of media coverage and niether of those are really a big deal. |

No, but then I never said it was a "big deal". The RU World Cup will attract far, far larger audiences, both live and televised. As such it will also attract more sponsorship and more money.
Whether it's a bigger deal to you or me is irrelevant as long as we remain a minority audience. |

It has nothing to do with the quality of the competition, it has to do with the level of interest it generates. Lets face it, there were several teams in the last RL World Cup who created no interest at all in their home country, let alone in Australia. How many people in Scotland and Ireland do you suppose even knew the RL World Cup was happening? |

Hopefully some games played more than 20 miles from the M62 will help spread the game. Those would be much more beneficial now that we have a widespread amateur game.

Will only work if they actually promote it in the non heartland areas.
Be great to have the final at Wembely, and fill the place |
