England invented rugby league and it is a popular sport there for over 120 years and they have never won the rugby league world cup and there have been 16 editions.
It's probably their most pathetic lack of achievement and deserves more attention

popular is debatable

>>150640909
Super League and English Rugby Union Premiership have comparable crowds, ~7k avg. That's probably the best indicator of popularity, then there's tv ratings and I don't know maybe merchandise sales. I wouldn't look at social media because it's easily rigged either way. Rugby League is at least as popular overall in England as Rugby Union

Rugby League is only played in small norf towns and places like Leeds. Even then it is so far behind football.

The souf plays Rugby Union but only public school (private school) boys play it.

The Ashes > all that shit

Did you know that unlike The Netherlands, Denmark, Greece, Czechoslovakia, and Portugal they never even won a European Championship? What are the odds?

>what a pathetic achievement lol
Oh no, anyway

rugby, both codes, is football you retard. Do you only want to consider soccer and no other sports at all? Both of the domestic rugby competitions in England are fully professional and the wages are higher than the majority of what soccer players earn in most countries so stfu have some respect
