The first of many A Tap on the Twenty readers polls came to a close as England and Papua New Guinea kicked off the tournament on Saturday. Fifty-one of you voted as to who you thought would win the RL World Cup and it comes as no surprise as to who you think will win the tournament.
Australia were eventual winners in the poll despite England gaining an early lead at about March/April of this season. Australia played catch up for the majority of the season. The lead was given to Australia as the NRL and Super League domestic play offs got closer, but that lead was snatched away by only a handful of votes. Eventually within the two weeks leading up to kick off in Townsville, Australia re-took the lead again and managed to hang on until the deadline.
New Zealand were the third most voted team earning and never looked like losing that position all year. Only Ireland gained more than one vote for a team outside the "top three" while Fiji were the only side not to earn a vote.
The final results are:
Australia - 41% (21)
England - 37% (19)
Fiji - 0% (0)
France - 1% (1)
Ireland - 2% (3)
New Zealand - 7% (4)
Papua New Guinea - 1% (1)
Samoa - 1% (1)
Scotland - 1% (1)
Tonga - 1% (1)
Thanks to all that voted, and all those regular readers where ever you are.
