[QUOTE="Canadian_Rugger, post: 253908"] guys Union is infinitely more popular than League is in the states. Union is growing and I imagine in the next few years you will begin to see more good American players break into the top levels of European competition. We already have Ngwenya at Biarritz and he is the top try scorer I believe in Top 14. Todd Clever is playing in the Super 14 and their are a host of other Union players from the States starting to pop up in Europe. If Americans want a fast paced team sport they can watch Ice Hockey (arguably the fastest team sport in the world) or Basketball.... League is not going to go anywhere in the States. Oh and North America regional competition is expanding this year from 4 teams to 8. 4 American and 4 Canadian regional union sides with the hope that they are eventually franchised. Eventually it is planned to include Argentinian and Uruguayan teams as well to form a Americas Rugby Cup with Franchised teams in cities. [/QUOTE]
