[QUOTE="LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan), post: 931161, member: 70842"] Not to sound like a dick but every women's sports that isn't 1) Tennis, 2) In the olympics will struggle compared to the Male equivalent. 7's is the easiest and cheapest way to expand it as a sport, as the competitions run hand in hand with the mens. The XV's sport however I don't see it becoming big for a long long time. I like the womens hockey though the Canadian women's hockey league is doing a great job in expanding it's league IMO. (Also Hilary Knight FTW!!), Personally I think they should merge with the National Women's Hockey League as well. The thing is most people don't want to pump money into something that isn't financially viable and Women's team sport on the whole isn't viable, Look how hard it's been to get a proper Rugby in america! Football which is massive in this country, it's most successful women's team Arsenal has a capacity of 4,500 and it doesn't sell out. Which is on par with Male teams playing in tier 7 and 8. [/QUOTE]
