gobbledonk Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Apart from the fact that teams like 'Italy' are stacked with Australian players (of Italian ancestry...), overall the Cup seems to have been well received by folk in the north of England thus far. My question is simple : will those folk travel to Wembley for the semi-finals, particularly if it comes down to teams-that-arent-England ? I'd imagine that Wembley is an awfully large and draughty stadium in November, especially if you cant fill it with warm bodies http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/oct/25/rugby-league-world-cup-2013-team-fixtures-guide Semi-finals 23 Nov Winner QF 1 v Winner QF 3, Wembley; 23 Nov Winner QF 2 v Winner QF 4, Wembley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted November 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 The good news for US fans is that they made it to the semi-finals - the bad news is that they will almost certainly get a pasting. http://www.rlwc2013.com/fixtures OK - that's a bit unfair, given that League would have the profile of lawn bowls in the US - the Tomahawks improve each time they take the field against top-level opposition. Scotland was also better than many assumed they would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Munchmaster Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 A good win but they can't get close to them when playing real rugby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 A good win but they can't get close to them when playing real rugby. Wallabies finished their Spring Tour with four wins out of five Tests – defeating Italy, Ireland, Scotland and Wales – with only a narrow loss to England in their first match blotting their record. 20-13 is a converted try difference.

gobbledonk Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 bust, I think he means the All Blacks, and sadly he's right on that score. South Africa were considered 'invincible' at one stage, and now it's NZs turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
