Having said that, if Union's on the TV I'll watch. I'll also try to make a point of watching the International Tests/6 Nations/World Cup, but definitely Rhinos >> all else  |
Nothing against Yorkshire. Just pointing out from an Australian point of view that League players get to travel to Northern England while Union players get to travel to Paris, Rome, Cape Town, Buenes Aires, etc.
Lots of good rugby in Sydney at the moment. I saw the Waratahs smash the Chiefs last night in what was possibly the most entertaining rugby game I have ever been to. There were 10 tries!
Also, Wednesday night is the opening game of the Rugby League State of Origin Series between New South Wales and Queensland (Go the Maroons!). I consider this to be the highest quality Rugby League in the world. If you are not a fan of league, check it out and you will be converted.
