[QUOTE="die_mole, post: 823140, member: 73648"] you have to take into account where most of these players are coming from According to USA Rugby there are 112,000 registered rugby players int the United States 32,000 of them play in college, a majority of them (me included) did not play rugby prior to college and it is viewed as a way to keep playing a sport and drink a lot Saying that 40% of these are actual fans of rugby would me a stretch in my imagination The rest of of them are in high school or at adult clubs... adults who are into rugby for the same reasons as college students the high school students have hope but from what coaches have told me (i refereee) the kids care more about playing soccer or football in college i honestly don't see how that 1.2 million number is credible, there would have to be 9x as many people playing outlaw rugby rather than sanctioned rugby [/QUOTE]
