It was ok when Christian Cullen and Lomu were playing but now - it's just "meh......... ". I'd *much* rather watch the NPC games and Ranfurly Shield games!

NZer here - this is great to see! Really good to see rugby making good progress in the States! Great that the Free Jacks are making their home games a big "social day out" too - that's a really positive way of doing things! Having social-rugby games going on all day plus the food, drinks and entertainment - great!

As a Welshman I wish our clubs did similar tbh. Very few fans turn up to watch the rugby. If they have a bit of entertainment and make it a "day out" rather than just rugby match my 6 yr old wouldnt be bored and would want to come back again and again until he actually gets into the rugby.

@@oliveryoung2260 US will never "take over rugby". The US has great athletes but doesn't seem to understand numbers don't equal domination. If that were the case France and England would only ever lose to each other and have won every world cup. Rugby is tactics at speed with a healthy dose of thinking on your feet and making decisions to what is in front of you. That isn't a strong point of the US, not in sport nor war.

@@novak7970 yeah mate I get what your saying but in terms of impact look what a couple of NFL rejects done. Tight ends running around 6foot plus Around 100kgs or more and pretty athletic, good starting attributes of a loose forward. Even line backers could make decent converts. Imagina a Ray Lewis type player at blindside 😤 Safety's and CBS would slot into FB as for SS and fs there is a similar nature in what they do compared to a FB in rugby. Some of the smaller lineman could play in the front row but the fitness would be a major challenge. Running backs and wide receivers easily make average converts for backs. The ball skills would be lacking but the natural running ability could be up there with the best for sure.

Incredibly smart move to turn the match into an event, just as the NFL does. Does the stadium have room for tailgating? Tailgating parties would be a sign of having arrived. Adding a half-time show of any kind (high school marching band, for examplle), would add to the festival experience.

@Fatblue246 7 ай бұрын
most Canadian markets are tough for sports leagues in NA to generate a profit. Not impossible by any shadow of a doubt, but when "smaller market" cities in the US are all well over 1mil in populace in the city itself, let alone the included metro area it just makes it very difficult for them to compete financially. All that being said though, developing sports/leagues are actually perfect for smaller markets like many found in Canada, and as the MLR falls into this category I think y'all could definitely see more teams coming soon. At a minimum at least another in Montreal, maybe Vancouver. The prairies numbers wise has people but realistically with the dominance of grid iron football there and the stronger Canadian identity rather than a more cosmopolitan one I see it less likely to take off. You never know though! Get a good grassroots community going and anything is possible, just look at Soccer and its growth/resurgence in NA in the past 30 years. I could never have imagined growing up soccer being relevant enough for something like the MLS to exist how it does today, let alone something like the USL as well. MLR will get there it will just take time, and I think like Soccer, Rugby is a more international leaning/oriented sport and as such I think Canada definitely plays into those plans. So I wouldn't fret.

Depends, it's still a young league that is growing, top players earn enough for it to be a full-time profession for sure, especially ones with international caps. But the average player I think only earns between like 10-20 thousand a year so I'm sure a lot of them have other sources of income from either sponsorships or second jobs.

Scotland has never beaten New Zealand. Ireland took over 100 years to beat New Zealand. USA Rugby will develop faster because we have more tools today. US should send up and coming talent to New Zealand for a season. Many players from the British Isles did this. You learn about the thinking that the people of New Zealand bring to Rugby. It's more than a game. It's more about the person on your left, and the person on your right. You'll do the haka in New Zealand because everyone does one. Kia ora from Aotearoa New Zealand.
