[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 881079, member: 12207"] Kind of a deceptive number as most of the juniors in that pool tend to feed the NRL and not Super Rugby. Can tell you right now the number of guys I’ve grown up with myself and even kids of mates that play union and get scouted by big NRL clubs in their teens. End of the day, what Scotland are building is impressive, but it’s your second biggest sport - Union ranks about 4 or 5 in Australia after Cricket, AFL, NRL and these days probably soccer too. Put it to you this way - in Australia Tonga v England in the Rugby League World Cup got double the TV ratings of the highest rated match of the Bledisloe Cup this year... that’s a League match not involving Australia blowing the biggest union matches of the year in Aus out of the water.
