[QUOTE="LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan), post: 1096810, member: 70842"] USA is a odd situation. It has 3 massive established traditional sports already and “Soccer” is on the rise. On the flip side take away Fiji, Samoa, Japan, Tonga from the RWC and would they have developed as they did or would rugby league have started to creep into it instead. I don’t know if it would boost the domestic game but I do know that teams getting into the rugby world cups generally get a lot more funding than if they don’t qualify which in turn can be used more for grassroots building [/QUOTE]
