[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 127280"] Definitely! If only they'd take it up! Sure there were pretty good teams in the past like the Bremen Police team which would play the British Army (stationed in Bremen as part of [i]ye olde[/i] British Army of the Rhine) on a regular basis but on a national level, the Germans just haven't gotten into it. They've taken to Gridiron in more numbers (average crowd of 20,000 to Berlin thunder games in NFL Europa's last season) than had been expected. 20,000 per game?! In only 16 years of the game touching down in Europe?! That is phenomenal development, something which we should take note of when approaching the development of the game overseas. In the end, Rugby should suit a range of European nations down to a tee but for some reason Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway just haven't taken the bait. It is rather strange that nations like Portugal are developing the game at a faster pace than the likes of Germany and nobody can fathom a reason as to why! [/QUOTE]
