Geez Greg - did you have to give away the winner before the replay on "Classic Matches" in 2009. Let's face it - we're in the strange position this year that most people from Sydney would be in a better position to tell you how the Melbourne Storm are going than their national rugby team. And quite rightly too - the Storm could be the most in-form rugby team in the world right now.	Twelvevolts (5457)

Quite often after a game there would be a tiny article buried somewhere deep in the local rag if you were lucky, or nothing at all. In Aussie (from what I am told) rugby is only played in Private Schools, so while they do manage to fill stadiums for major games it is very much a niche sport. The multiple League and Aussie Football stadiums are packed to the rafters for every game, every week, right around the country(*Edit, unless the Warriors are playing, thats largely a non-event) 5 years in aussie, lived in 2 cities, Had over a dozen jobs and I never chanced upon anyone who followed rugby apart from other Kiwi's.
