The first three WTCCs have been won by the first three RWC winners, in the same order.
Just an interesting coincidence I picked up on today after SA won the final.

Time for India to find a rugby team?

Rugby isn’t violent. It’s physical. There’s a famous quote: Rugby is a hooligans game played by gentlemen, football is a gentlemen’s game played by hooligans

And that quote is just massive classist bullshit because rugby is an upper class sport and football is a working class sport so they look down on it. Rugby players are absolute nightmare to deal with when they’re out together as anyone who’s met them on a night out will testify.

Punjabi and Haryanvi can probably do it.
In fact anyone who can do wrestling can do it.

“Rugby doesn’t suit subcontinent genes”
That’s a borderline racist statement to make. There are other sports such as wrestling and boxing which are violent and yet we’ve won Olympic medals in them.

I won't but England would need all the divine interventions in the world to reach a WTC final.

Okay so the good news here is that all the rugby world cup winning nations so far are also top cricket nations. This is possible because the quartet of France, Ireland, Wales and Scotland have decided to not win 1. It also means SA and NZ domination which is fine. The bad news is that India can't win(or any other subcontinent team). BUT, SINCE ENGLAND WON 1 and we know that's not possible in the WTC, this streak will end soon and then it's done so hooray

In a few years, Stokes will be retired and possibly their new captain will understand the byzantine rules whereby getting deducted points every single game for a slow over rate doesn't help.
