Thought I'd have a brief anti-Rugby rant on the heels of last night's game.
If that was anything to go by, League has daylight second as far as quality goes.
An anticipated international, which was, ho hum, yet again, decided by penalty goals.
No matter that the only team that actually managed to cross the line, got beat by Johnny "yawn' Wilkinson and his god-awful-boring time-consuming conversions.
The most ridiculous thing about it all for mine, is the penalties.
9-4 to England - so be it.
But the Rucks, Mauls and Scrums are so messy and the rules so complicated, that the penalties are so friggin arbitrary (in fact so much so, that Ch 7 coverage use to have to explain them via on screen text)
Australia played poor, England were a bore, the English fans (god bless them) lapped it up, as they have very little to cheer for, and ultimately . . .
the winner is Rugby League, if that sh*te is anything to go by.
