[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 823147, member: 70552"] Look there is nothing wrong with rugby finding a niche in the US market and of course there is value to it. But when we have World Rugby talking about it being a potential host for the World Cup and recouping their $100 million plus fee from staging the event, I think we have to look at the bigger picture of where rugby is in the US before this can be considered. I think there has to be real evidence of homegrown interest and American fans attending the matches and not just rely on hoardes of British, Irish, French, South Africans, NZers, Australians, Argentinians flying over there to make up numbers.
