Now come on, Rugby is a hugely popular sport in England - you just dont happen to notice it until England are in the World Cup final.

For some reason people get the impression that 99% of the time most people don't give a **** about the game and that league matches have fewer people in the stands than on the pitch.

They couldn't be more wrong.

My very limited understanding is that most of the tickets are distributed via the member clubs of the various countries, and there are very few on general sale.

Add to that the fact that England will be going into the 2008 tournament as World Cup finalists/winners and I think tickets will be very scarce indeed - especially against Wales.

I'm tempted to try and tie a weekend in Rome with the Italy v England game though, tickets for that are on general sale now via the Italian Rugby Federation.

They'll be like gold dust, and unless you're affiliated with a club or union very tough to get hold of.

This is a useful indication of where the tickets were allocated last time.

General sale only for the Italy fixture, nothing for Scotland or France.

Shouldn't they be supporting Argentina?
