[QUOTE="Boggle, post: 150209"] Actually if the US were just more 'rugby minded' things would probably be a bit different. Let's face it, the US thinks football (the amarican one) is the best sport on earth and hardly pay attention to things like Rugby or football (the real one). But from what I had read about the current US coaching staff (head coach is an old englishman if I'm not mistaken), they're going to try and get all those college and highschool kids who don't make it into the NFL (which is about 95% of them) to get more into the rugby scene.Which is a good idea since most of the kids who don't get drafted end up not having much to do anyway. Given the right amount of exposure to rugby and financial backing from one of the richest countries on earth Rugby could become a huge sport in the United States. I mean, the fact that only 2 of your current squad was -born- in the US speaks volumes about who's really all that interested in Rugby over there. [/QUOTE]
