What's bitter about my statement? Is there anything in it that is untrue? 2 tries scored by foreigners; Brad Barrit, South African, moved to England in 2008 aged 22. Manu Tuilagi, born Samoa, moved to England initially illegally aged 13, 5 brothers all played for Samoa. Chris Ashton, former Wigan RL and England RL player. Moved to Union aged 20. Owen Farrell's father was a Rugby League legend; Debuted age just 17, GB debut aged 18, youngest ever GB captain at 21. Won every honour in the game including Golden boot.

All sounds about right to me. As I said, very impressive, make of that what you will.

You're clutching at straws, as long as the media peddles Union it'll always be more popular than League. Folks won't be turning away from it

The amount of talent in english rugby union is staggering. The national teams 5 choice set of backs would walk into the league national team

The commentators have no shame - so many superlatives for such e.
