[QUOTE="SimonG, post: 623155, member: 71048"] The atmosphere in Ravenhill is pretty good so I'm not referring to Ireland, but my one and only experience at Twickenham matches that described in the article. What is well known though is the well mannered aspect of Rugby fans ...and it's that really that I believe is one of the problems. The lack of a healthy intense rivalry doesn't exist. The tribalism, it isn't there. When is the last time you saw an advert on BBC, SKy, BT sport etc build up a forthcoming game? They don't because there isn't the rivalry there to build up. [/QUOTE]
