The americas cup got more air time on sky sports news than the playoffs did. Thats how seriously the rest of the sporting world and SKY takes RL. Seriously sailing!! There were interviews, studio assesment of what was happening and reaction, the playoffs got a couple of trys and a mention of the next game. This is by the company who we bend over for at any chance! Wigan every time. Its good when england play australia dont get me wrong and would love to see england do it.

It would require the second coming at half time for the press to even mention it in other than passing. And I think that is more likley than england winning the world cup to be honest.

I would say England without a doubt if I thought it would raise the sports profile in the country for any more than 24 hours, but even if they do it won’t.

Love the traditional Aussie shirts. (Not so much their new one as they've changed the colour slightly) As you say mate, simple but right.

The 1986 Kangaroo Tour, both jerseys, Aussies Classic, GB's Umbro, awesome !!!

Yeah i agree

I dont like the lack of a floppy collar. GB RL got rid of theirs after 2006(?) tri-nations and i did not like that either.

For me, a floppy collar is what distinguishes a RL jersey form other sports

When Wigan play, Wigan. When England play, England. I want them both to win for different reasons. Obviously Wigan are my club and the two cup wins this year were fantastic, but as others have said, if RL is to get any recognition in this country - however small - we need to win the WC.
