[QUOTE="Osezno, post: 905048, member: 73976"] The proof figures aren't that reliable is Spain. Registered players aren't down by any means, but previous year stats released by World Rugby are often so inflated that it looks like there was a decrease. If you take stats from Spanish Rugby Union or Spanish government it's easily verifiable: 2017 - 33,482 (WR) - 34,232 (FER) 2016 - 34,822 (WR) - 31,692 (FER) 2015 - 27,510 (WR) - 28,479 (FER) 2014 - 30,531 (WR) - 25,892 (FER) According to World Rugby there were two increases and two decreases where there was in fact only a steady increase.
