    Out, but they more than played their part in a quality game.

    Beating NZ at a World Cup isn’t for everyone I suppose.

    P.S. - League is miles better than this format, stupid rules that they make up as they go along…

    Hence my hyperbole thread. That said, they left nothing out there. What a game.

    We've already met my expectations getting to the quarters. We've dropped lucky getting Fiji, although they're no mugs.

    Agree you can't keep possession like the Irish did at the end of that game in Rugby League. Recycling the ball to that magnitude takes great skill.

    It’s really not, when it comes to Union no one watches it unless it comes to International games.

    Have you followed any of the domestic game this year? I bet you haven’t…

    Mr Hargreaves (my P.E teacher and Rugby coach) would have loved the rally at the end of the game. "Rook over, drive, rook over drive, get on side, stay on side, no hands in the rook, rook over drive." "Nice one saucy".

    There's not a massive difference in attendance between club league and union, but for international Union pi55es it.

    I do watch a little bit of club union, but I don't support a club so there's a reason I don't follow it avidly

    Rugby league knocks spots off yawnion, the internationals have great and better crowds and atmosphere then league but imo too much kicking and penalties.

    Hull – 13,291
    St Helens – 12,384
    Warrington – 11,467

    Gloucester-14,010
    Harlequins-13,956
