Banned from auckland central? How about we use actual facts oikee. It isnt going to be played in the Rugby World Cup fan zone again (the semifinal was) due to sponsorship conflicts, which is absolutely understandable. Do you think the NRL or AFL grand final will be showing updates from the world cup on the big screen?

Warriors success giving Kiwis a lift

Exactly, but the moment everyone realises this is the moment people will stop reading newspapers and commenting on opinion websites!

All Blacks have won nothing in pool stage

Chch would be most realistic, when I lived there the warriors had a few followers. But due to its size and competing with the crusaders, I think they would struggle to get average crowd numbers of much above 5-7000..

New Zealand the true kings of rugby league

Why? League doesnt have the same following in NZ or anywhere else in the world as it does in Aus. Should we be ashamed of not following croquet or water polo as well? or just league? I think 200000 for a game on at 10pm for a minority sport in a country of 4 million is not to bad.

Carter played very well, you could just watch the highlights if you need proof

Awesome All Blacks make French toast

What has he done? Can you remember the SA game? He pretty much bombed anything coming near him, looked awful the whole game and then threw a pass a metre forward with no one within 5m of him, fakes an injury and comes off.

Sonny Bill Williams is Stephen Donald all over again

Show me a game where Donald played as bad as Slade did against Japan? Keeping in mind most of Donalds appearances were against tier one opponents?
Dont get me wrong, i hope Slade does well, but i hate the fact that Donald got basically spat on by the NZ public for performances that were much better than Slade has put out so far.

Sonny Bill Williams is Stephen Donald all over again

As it has with Donald. He played a couple of bad games, he never tore an all blacks game apart like he does in Super rugby and NPC, but he was never as bad as people make out. The hong kong game for example – he misses one touch finder, and is lynched for it. Never mind the missed tackles on beale and co when they ran it back from 65 metres out, or the missed kicks at goal that carter had during the match, no, NO, it was Donald missing touch with a 65 metre kick that lost us the whole game.

A RWC for the minnows would be a good idea, but it has to be in a different country, and probably played before the main cup, maybe even the year before.

Could the Rugby World Cup expand to 24 teams?

That knock out looked awful. Hope he’s alright, looked like he was starting to play with some confidence after his two tries.

Wallabies suffer more injuries in costly win

Great work guys, this sort of carry on is what world cups are all about

Rebel World Cup - an Amazing Race for Adam

Why do you read and post on them all then? I might add, all of your posts ive seen have been exactly that – a whinge.

It only takes fifteen grown men to break your heart

Settle down KOG, read yesterdays courier mail, it has an article from an australian journo who cant believe that the abuse that was dished out even happended, as he has been treated amazingly well, like 99% of other tourists. I suspect you may be so livid because little brother is hosting a hugely successful tornament thus far.

You are having a laugh. If you actually bought facts to your arguments, you wouldnt get everyone proving every statement you make wrong.

Rugby World Cup: Second most important in the world?

Same scorelines? Point me to the last 140 point loss.
If you think the standard of play hasnt got any better, why dont you actually watch the games instead of making bold false statements on here. As I said last time I caught you out, troll elsewhere.

Rugby World Cup: Second most important in the world?

And how do you think every other global tournament gets their figures? They all get thier figures the same way so they can be prepared. Like it or not, its a bigger tournament than you give it credit for.

Rugby World Cup: Second most important in the world?

Spot on with point 2.

Monstrous IRB maim the minnows

Also (im guessing) but the total figure would represent those who watched delayed games etc, whereas the 61 million would have watched the live feed…

Rugby World Cup: Second most important in the world?

Probably because of who made it, i doubt many from NZ, Australia, Wales etc could have brought themselves to watch it! I know I didnt!

Rugby World Cup: Second most important in the world?

Why dont you google 2007 rugby world cup viewers, pick one of the many sources, apologise for wasting my time, and then quit trolling union threads.

Rugby World Cup: Second most important in the world?

2007 Rugby world cup attracted a global veiwing audience of 4.2 billion. Average attendance at each match – a touch over 47 000.
You might want to check your facts before you post so arrogantly next time.

Rugby World Cup: Second most important in the world?

No point arguing with Renegade, i think its Phil Gould. You wont get a unbaised response out of him.

Rugby World Cup: Second most important in the world?

What? Cricket world cup ahead in global veiwership? Would love to see some proof, if that was a serious post. I cant tell.

Rugby World Cup: Second most important in the world?

Terrible, when they play the best in the world in form without thier best squad. They held up agaisnt France pretty well.

Rugby World Cup: Second most important in the world?

Bledisloe far outrated the Melbourne Manly game if you count NZ figures. If you dont, then take away all viewers in Sydney or Melbourne and see what you get. You cant count both the teams audience in one and not the other.
