[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 611085, member: 57076"] well it's true my dear English person, it wasn't up until 1987 that a supposed 'Rugby World Cup' decided it would surface from nothing into the greatest challenge in Rugby tests. While the 6N dates back to around the 10th century, scholars aren't exactly too sure; it's been a really long time, and it's great tradition...more importantly, it is a cultural thing; the RWC will always carry its otherness along with it wherever it goes, England this time... By the time the generations pass, the newer ones will have grown up with a history of RWC already. People will look back and say "oh yeah, it's smt that started at the end of the 20th century". Like, for me, I was 1 when world cups started. It's really about the 6N, isn't it...or let's say just as important, and not completely comparable. They follow different patterns of logic that may not be directly confronted... [/QUOTE]
