Rugby League World Cup

[Athens]

I just found out that this will happen in a few weeks.

Do we have any rugby league fans on here? I quite like union but never got into league. I think I've watched one match once, and that was as a filler between football matches.

I'm going to the final at Old Trafford on 30th november

Any particular matches that you would recommend a novice watching?

there's a game on tonight. Wigan Warriors (my team) versus Leeds Rhinos which is the 2nd play off semi final. Should be a good game.The winners play Warrington Wolves next saturday also at Old Trafford in the Grand Final.
kick off at 8pm on sky sports 2 but you could probably get it on wiziwig as well.

I know everything there is to know about RL. I also know a great deal about RU, although its an inferior product by far IMO, but the posh nobs and Irish on here will never admit that. Luckily, I know they're bellends.
That said, RL is a very poor spectacle at International level, the competition just doesn't. exist. Australia has a very prominent domestic competition as does NZ which is probably superior to their RU equivalent.
The final will undoubtedly be Aus v NZ.
