The Rugby League World Cup...
I'm not sure it's fair to judge RL by the standard of any other sport though is it. I mean it is a much smaller sport globally than Rugby Union or even cricket. I don't disagree that the attendances could have been better but I think you are over estimating the appeal to the general public of watching 2 teams that probably aren't even as good as their local club side and that they have no attachment too, it isn't exactly compelling.
The insular nature of Victoria, SA and WA is hardly the fault of Rugby League though and you'll let us know the attendances at the next Aussie Rules world cup won't you.....
