[QUOTE="goranski, post: 134216"] in general here's the deal... rugby in the United States does not have a following except among a very few American rugby fans and the expat population the game needs to get on TV - and i'm not talking a subscription channel, i mean games on basic cable and satellite packages American rugby people need to realize that the benefits of the game go beyond playing and actually show some interest in following the game the top players in this country need to make their time training and playing for the national team be made worthwhile, this means USA rugby needs to start planning for putting players under contract full-time or part-time or putting together structures for professional rugby to be played why don't we send more of our players overseas to Europe and Southern Hemisphere competitions to play high level rugby? Look at the success that smaller nations have by sending their best players to the top countries in the world - i.e. Georgia. [/QUOTE]
