[QUOTE="LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan), post: 829549, member: 70842"] If pro 12 happens in america i suspect the whole thing will become Italy mark 2, It's set in the wrong time of year for US sports really esp for the North east (Which is the obvious target. Super rugby has a better chance of succeeding. For the sake of US rugby i hope that it goes more towards Super rugby than Pro 12. Georgia could prob afford to set up a franchise IMO, Spain increase in rugby another one, not sure on the Romanian set up but suspect they could do a better job than the Italian clubs really. IF Yamada comes back to sunwolves then the whole thing is one big win though. USA needed to build grass roots support and one or two franchises on the east coast in big cities like New York, Chicago and Boston where they will be competing against the NHL, NFL and NBA will do nothing IMO. It's not like Rugby has star names with worldwide appeal FFS Owen Farrell was rugbys face in the beats advert featuring stars like Serena Williams and Lebron James, i would say that 0.001% of america's population could name more than 3 pro rugby players currently and 0.0001% could name a NH player.
