  • So, the French and English like being separate. But the English are broke. I could totally see them joining with the URC. The problem then is do we have leagues or conferences as having so many teams means round robin is out. The URC still manages to have all play all, just, but adding the premiership would break that. And devalue the Champions Cup. And the French still won’t join. And fans won’t pay that for club rugby.

    Internationals yes, that is climbing every year. Pricing out lots of fans. But club rugby is seen to be more attractive to attend with your friends and family for a reasonable price point. Club rugby is also a step down from internationals, so I don’t think we’ll ever see it command big bucks. How much is college football for a fairer comparison?
