[QUOTE="Matt7557, post: 829547, member: 74139"] I'm an American rugby fan and am sadden by the fact that PRO rugby has taken a big hit in its viability. I honestly think the blame can be spread to both parties. USA Rugby and Pro rugby seemed like they were both in a big rush to get the league up and running without most of the infastructure that it takes to get a professional organization off the ground. Had they used a model like Major League Soccer used in it formative years by securing corporate dollars by way of sponsorship deals, worked out national, regional, and local tv contracts it might have done much better. I dont believe the support from USA Rugby was whole hearted because when the PRO 12 came around, they seemed to forget about the exclusive agreement they made with PRO Rugby. USA Rugby was looking for a pay day from the Pro 12 instead of building something of their own from the ground up, the whole thing is a shame. [/QUOTE]
