[QUOTE="Gay-Guy, post: 52023"] Hey C.A...I saw the US sevens team at the airport same time I was flying in.....they do ok in the sevens....but then so does PNG lol! Thank God and the guy who invented Gridiron! Because of him NZ rugby will continue to stay at the top, especially from 2007 onwards lol! Also a big ups to the Dally guy in Aus and whoever it is that invented the AFL there.....we love you guys! :bravo: Yes the sleeping giants of the world (States, China, Eastern Europe, Africa) will catch up with rugby I believe...maybe in 150 plus years.......but by then NZ would have built up enough of that one resource we REALLY need to stay at the top.....more PEOPLE....I would calculate that NZ needs probably 60 million people plus to forever be THE rugby world power......30 million to be near the top......that is if we are to compete with the Super countries IF they throw their hat in the ring.......which gracefully for us now.....they aren't lol!...and while they procrastinate....we will slowly build our population and survive at the top by being passionate and giving carrots to the natural talent of surrounding Polynesia lol! (thank you thank you Islanders lol!) But the accessibility of rugby will determine that it will grow as a world sport......behind the most accessible sport in the world...soccer....world growth is by accessibilty first....sory USA....but you chose to dominate in complicated sports....too much money eh? :lol: You should have checked out what everyone else was doing and that the majority of the world does not have your wealth B) Long live the NFL, NRL, AFL! :unsure: [/QUOTE]
