[QUOTE="Kiwiwomble, post: 914064, member: 45355"] they are very well supported ideas though, not unsupported hypothetical... If rugby is the fourth or fifth most popular sport then its quite likely the people the the skills to match the AB's are already playing other sports....you could have a million registered players but if its a million duds then they're not going to get anywhere, the other side of the coin being if the savea's, barrett's and whitelocks kept spitting out kids we'd only need 15 registered players and of course the GDP plays a role...if people dont have money to spend on watching rugby then thats income not being injected into the sport...and if people are that poor then they're not going to be spending as much time practicing, they'll be out working accepting factors that lead to nz being good at rugby doesn't stop us being good at rugby....this is baffling [/QUOTE]
