Like Harriors gates are down all over interset rates, utillity bills, fuel bills etc are starting to bite not really - it's because all those idiot barstoolers who clambered onto the nice shiny Worriers Bandwagon for the purpose of being "seen" and to give them something to talk about at their next vacuuous dinner party as they sit there in their new season jersey which still has the creases in it from where they got it out of the packet that same day about how they went to watch them play the Leicester Wasps or the London Sharks have gotten bored with watching a team whose only purpose in English Premier Rugby is to give the other teams easy points throught the season and hover round the relegation zone each year. |

talking of rugby, switched on the tv to watch the All Balcks v Scotland, and both teams wer playing in virtually identical kit. Just couldn't watch it as it was too confusing. Surely that shouldnt have been allowed  see what I mean? |

Yes, I noticed that; an insult to the paying public I thought. Also, talking of the Rugby World Cup (sorry, I'll wash my mouth out later) is it, or is it not, in France?
So, if it's in France, what are Scotland and Wales doing playing at home at Murrayfield and the Millennium stadium respectively? And if they can play at home why not England?
Could someone explain?

and if you noticed - all the stadia being used in France aren't rugby stadia - but those of various Ligue 1 Football teams.
Nice way to kick the people of Biarritz, Perpingnan and Clermont in the teeth

A bit of a bribe!!! (by the french rugby officials) I Think it was a way of getting Wales & Scotland to vote for the french world cup bid a few years ago!!! vote for france and get a home game in the 2007 world cup |

England cant play at home because they didnt vote for France. In fact England were competing against France for the World Cup so in order for France to win they promised home games to the other home nations to vote in their favour which the snivelling grovelling bastards from Wales and Scotland did.
If England had hosted the World Cup, then its unlikely that rugby stadia would have been used either. They are not big enough.

I'm at a loose end so here's some Rugby World Cup info.
In1999 Wales hosted the tournament with England Scotland France and Ireland hosting matches.
The '91 tournament was "held" in England with matches in France, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
The average attendance in the 2003 Cup in Australia was 38 282. Not sure how many English rugby grounds could cope with that level of fans.

the answer to that one is easy, one, Twickenham. I may be wrong but I think the largest club ruby ground which isnt actually a football ground is Welford Road which has a capacity of around 17,000.
The rugby world cup is rubbish really as it cant get 16 decent teams to make up a finals. Only 4 teams have a prayer of winning that New Zealand Australia South Africa and France, then the next tier is England Wales Argentina Scotland Ireland, and thats really it. Rugby is hardly known of outside the Commonwealth (and France)

No you are right but I always think of Headingley as being a rugby league ground, but yes it is now a union ground as well.

Oh and by the way when did France ever win a Rugby World Cup? Yours truly Henry V |

I still think that it will be won by one of those four teams, probably with two of them meeting in the final.
When did France win a Rugby World Cup? possibly 2007.
