[QUOTE="profitius, post: 829530, member: 41524"] It doesn't need to. All it needs is pockets of interest here and there. If 2% of the country were rugby fans, thats about 6m people. There were already a number of interested parties in joining the pro12 so what this space though Super Rugby might be a better fit, as you say. I'd personally prefer the Pro12 to concentrate on expanding in Europe but its debatable whether European countries could afford to set up a franchise. To run a team, you're talking about €5/6m per season for a number of seasons. [/QUOTE]
