The 4 yearly silly season that is the Rugby League World Cup kicks off today. A competition that only has one winner with two other teams playing each other to meet the winner in the final. Even the tournament structure is contrived - with the 4 strongest teams in one group (3 of which go to the semi-finals) and 2 other groups containing teams with the usual mix of players that have forgotten what a nation state is.

So we'll announce the result here first... Rugby League World Cup 2007 winners are of course... Scotland.
