Is it just me...? I can't be bothered to watch the Kick and clap world cup final even though England are in it. Frankly I would rather watch under 11s play League.Union bores me. My wife and son,people at work keep saying aren't you going to watch it. It's England,it's the final. Well no I'm off to Aldi . Anyone joining me ?

No it's not just you.

I've found for the last few years at least that international RU is more exciting and entertaining than international RL.

I always found union easier to watch at club level. It just seems to flow better. It's often too technical at international level.

Not today it isn’t. A stop start borefest, the last straw for me was that England advantage play must have been about three minutes long, Turned it off after that

The ONLY thing going for it is that it's a close game and that's because nobody has actually scored a try.
Mind you, our own international wasn't exactly a thrill a minute.

Where has all the flair gone - modern rugby all seems to be about the arm wrestle and inventive play has just disappeared.
Fear of losing seems to have over taken the desire to try and win.

The trouble with any team sport final is they tend to disappoint, the best games are normally the semi finals.
The games come on over the last 5/6 seasons while our games gone backwards.
