[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 823028, member: 70552"] Well maybe we are talking about two different scales here. I'm talking on the Macro level; you are talking on the micro level. On the macro level, 15 man rugby union has a long way to go to appeal to the masses on any significant level. From a micro level and small niche of course rugby will appeal to sections of the American sporting public who like their collision sports and want something different to NFL, if appealing to a few million is satisfactory target for NZRU to grow the AB brand out there, then so be it. I think World Rugby will have their eye the bigger picture - figures in terms of participation, attendances, viewing figures before deciding whether the US is a viable choice to hold a RWC there in the future.
