Rugby Union is well established in the college systems, over 30 000 Rugby players in colleges across the country. It’s a minor but fast growing and well respected sport in the collegiate system, attracting very talented athletes.

With Rugby Sevens now an Olympics sport, funding has gone through the roof for American Rugby and the sporting public takes anything Olympic-related extremely seriously.

Rugby league's G20 strategy: Who are the next two elite nations?

Oh wow TWAS, that’s all you have to say?

Fiji is a RUGBY STRONGHOLD. It’s the national sport of the country.

The author clearly wrote that Fiji is not a traditional RUGBY STRONGHOLD.

Can you read?

Sure, it’s not commercially viable compared to the rest of Asia but seriously you’re trying to debate out of nothing.

If Rugby Yawnion is so boring why did 2015 Rugby World Cup sell out so many matches in stadiums far bigger than the league world cup.

Hayne flops, Holmes flies as Australia make World Cup final

The Western Australia side are the only locked-in team, with places like China, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Fiji, Kuala Lumpur, Colombo, Mumbai, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Tokyo, and Seoul all being thrown around as possibilities for clubs.

None of these places are traditional rugby strongholds and none currently follow the sport in large numbers.

Please do some research before writing such ridiculous statements.

Rugby Union is the national sport on Fiji.

Over 100 000 registered Union players in Sri Lanka (second only to Japan inside Asia), their high school games are even televised on national broadcast. Rich history in Union as it was first played in 1872.

Rugby Union is quite popular in Tokyo with a very rich history in the sport. The University games attract crowds that is comparable to Super Rugby, very knowledgable and passionate crowd too.

By the way, the capital city of Sri Lanka is Colombo so I’m not sure why you mentioned Sri Lanka and Colombo like they are separate entities.

Tonga beat France in 2011.

Protecting the diversity of world rugby: How can we save the Pacific nations?

Sad crowd less than 50% capacity last night.

You can say all you want about multiple IDs (and continue to dismiss the depressing crowds, numbers don’t lie) but true league fans will be discussing why the crowd was so bad on Friday night in Brisbane for the semi final of the world cup.

Stade de France is a shocking venue for test match Rugby atmosphere although it looks very nice when at full capacity.

The French need to play more games in Marseilles.

Murrayfield: Newer isn’t always better

“Rugby is not a game for the faint-hearted.”

True.

But Rugby is not a game for those who openly criticise and abuse the referee’s decisions.

Michael Cheika deserves a break - and our respect

Thanks Journeyman! Murrayfield is right up there as the best Rugby stadiums worldwide with Principality Stadium, Twickenham and Newlands.
