Considering one is a by product of a popular European, UK and Irish game of Union, the players make up people mostly playing Union but switched to league,

League still only has one professional competition, that’s in Australia like the AFL.

Continued comparisons like these are only laughable at league’s expense and only continues to show little knowledge of history and a large inferiority complex

Rugby League World Cup challenge utter nonsense.
Rugby League is not a world game
World game implies a sport that is extremely popular, part of the culture in many countries
Rugby League World Cup challenge and also the Rugby League World Cup do not fill this criteria.

Novelty events often sell out but they never translate to genuine sustainable interest.
Rugby League does have a few fans in Northern England, but no further., the Scots certainly don't want or care for it.
Rugby League in England is way down the list

Soccer
Rugby Union
Cricket
Tennis
Darts
Rugby League.

Second point is that a Rugby League World Cup held a few years back was a. failure with many one sided games.
Thrashings were plenty, Australia vs Tonga nothing but a big bully humiliating a tiny island nation, that just one example.
No other sporting organisations would do this.
The equivalent if you could imagine would be an American NFL World Cup where the American team plays and annihilates the Bahamas.
It's a World Cup because the Bahamas compete in it.
Simply wouldn't hsppen.

Please don't claim Rugby League is a true international sport.
Number six in the England, that is being very generous.

And as for Rugby League in France

Most people have never heard of it



Most people in France are ignorant or indifferent to the game

Hardly World Cup or potential World Cup challange material.
