[QUOTE="Pockets, post: 631052, member: 71071"] Some countries use them the wrong way around. I blame the French. I don't think there's anything particularly unusual about being successful despite having a section of the population that's bitter about a sport; if you went and surveyed a football crowd in Leicester you'd find a similar set of opinions about rugby from a substantial minority of people. It isn't about the die-hard fans inside the rugby stadium, it's about those outside it - without the casual enthusiast you don't sell the TV packages, get sponsorships etc. [/QUOTE]
