[QUOTE="RedruthRFC, post: 996779, member: 58362"] Are you asking why does rugby need to go somewhere where it needs to grow? I would go a step further and ask why the games [I]needs[/I] to grow there. To answer your question, the main objective of every world sporting body (World Rugby included) seems to be world domination and everyone wants a piece of the American (apple) pie and a great many such organisations seem to think that Field of Dreams was a training video / blueprint - "If you build it, they will come". Enough unions around the world have enough problems that I think we need to question whether the relentless pursuit of new markets is what best serves the game at the moment. As I said above, given the curent financial woes, the assurance of a good pay day needs to be the number one priority, with all others taking a long distant back seat. This seems to me to be about committee men putting ticks in boxes rather than trying to do what is best for the game. [/QUOTE]
