I assume the massive failure in ticket numbers means the chance of a profit went too, I think the exposure the BBC has given the tournament was fantastic, and I'd aim for that model of broadcast going forward, but it should not be either or, and I think those in charge should not be able to hide failures behind partial success.

As for the game tonight, I think if England can keep Bourson quiet we have a good chance, but I'll be interested to see how the French defend, they are very good defenders in general, but they are also not afraid to use the "dark arts" of the game to keep attackers out.

If Wane had played Brown and Collins in the halves we'd have been World Champion's by this time tomorrow.

Bobby Brown and Tony Collins?

Wheelchair players squire, Brown hunting the foul and most horrid French down.
But you knew that.

Get the f in!!!

World Champions.
Absolutely delighted.
Fantastic athlete's.

Ive moaned about a lot of things at this World Cup but Manchester Central was an inspired choice of venue its looked great on TV and the final delivered

This wheelchair world cup has been great. Think it's my new favourite sport.

Well done England! The rfl should capitalise on this success and get a rematch booked in the same weekend as the England v France double header next year

So glad Halliwell pulled it out of the bag in the end, I can't believe what was going on with the French ref though, never seen anything like it.

You know that wheelchair rl has made it to the big time when everyone is criticising the ref!

Fantastic for the sport cant wait for BBC sports of the year award going to England Wheelchair World cup winners.
Loved the passion at the end and brilliant to see the French ref and officials really p*ssed off.
Best team won.

Unlike Bernard Guasch, the French can't threaten never to play in a final again until they have a French official. They had one and still lost and everyone saw his behaviour. Tant amount to bringing the game into disrepute.

Wheelchair World Cup has been better than the able bodied one, and not just because England won.

67k for the final is a good crowd, and with the high prices they are saying this is the biggest gate receipts ever for RL.

While Australia have been in control its been a decent watch. I really hope the game schedules these Samoa-Tonga games on the islands and keeps this momentum going,
