[QUOTE="miccloarch, post: 993206, member: 78309"] The point of that fable is that rugby is a type of football, that's why it's called rugby football. Football was first. Anyway I was talking more about the 20th century when sport became professional (and in that sense, rugby is decades behind other sports). The market is saturated and football got in first. FIFA has a head start that rugby will never be able to make up, but World Rugby, the incompetent fools they are, can still do a lot better. [/QUOTE]
