Sadly and I don't like saying it but rugby union is the only sport where I always want the other team to beat England.
I dislike rugby union, the organisation so much it leans me that way.
What has Sam Burgess done to deserve such negativity, their media bias is so hateful towards anything Rugby League that it's beyond belief.
Agree with you. Can I add Murrey the tennis player who,s Scottish when it suits otherwise British

Is rugby union not now another unsuccessful sport under performing and should have funds drastically reduced like what happened to Rugby League.?

The cheeky sods at the RFU are not happy that the RFL Grand Final is on the same day in Manchester.

No acknowledgement of the fact that the Grand Final is on an agreed contract with Manchester United for the second Saturday of October.

So why did the RFU not arrange for a game in Manchester on another Saturday and play Saturdays game elsewhere?

I think we all know what the Union boys were trying to do. Very silly but also odd because Utd and City are not allowed to play at home on the same day yet this was allowed.
