[QUOTE="HowieLO6, post: 741676, member: 52873"] Why is it so optimistic? They've got a colossal population, and one that it becoming increasingly fatigued and concerned by the NFL. They have a university system that produces top tier athletes as if it were a factory conveyor belt. And they have the resources.. Rugby is gaining in popularity over there, with some excellent universities already offering rugby scholarships. Are you really suggesting that in 10 years they wouldn't be in a position to challenge? I'm not buying it, and its pretty glib just to write them off out of hand. They've no league to speak of, and rarely get a crack at any decent opposition. If the former changes, then why shouldn't they be knocking at the door of all European teams. [/QUOTE]
