Rugby League would be silly to get rid of the Grand Final at Old Trafford.Therefore, it has to have a qualifying system. (In reality first past the post should be enough at the end of the regular season!!) Straight relegation and promotion should operate each season. The problem is x this is what kind of qualifying system -we have used top 14,16,8,4 etc The problem is y how many up down- yoyo etc Simple is normal -top 4 - winners of first(1 v4), second(2v3) games contest grand final Simple is normal 2 up 2 down-yoyo so be it! gives the expanding world league a chance to make it or break it Not wanting to go to superleague? then goes to the next club in the end of season final table ladder

Plenty of cover!-for once

In the last world cup new zealand were an exhausted team in the final, and England would have put up a better fight. An easy passage tomorrow would create a more even final for either England or Tonga- England preferred!

Do not forget the 73 people as well!

Strangely,Australia always look bigger than every other team when lined up. Also seem to radiate a sense of being full of beans and spring before kicking off compared to opposition! Last week only player that paniced Australia and treated them like skittles was macgillvry x13 players like him would be interesting

I think there is a better "ambience" about the French team for sure.This world cup was never going to be easy for France. Hopefully some stars will emerge in the next couple of years!
