Nice. Will they even know who he is? Lol

Interested viewers will know he is a "Rugby player" and then tune into the 6 Nations or whatever other God-aweful RU competition that gets broadcast in Mexico and be put off RL for life by association.

[Futtocks]

Blimey, that was unexpected!

[Exiled Wiganer]

They will pay.

Exciting to think that coca cola company are running global ad campaigns with Rugby League players.

[David Wild]

World onion is flying a special envoy out to Mexico as we speak to have the ad producer imprisoned because Mexico union did not sanction the use of a Rugby player  . 

[C H Calthrop]

Find it a bit slack that an NRL sponsor was not prompted to define "Rugby League" with Slaters role in their promotions. 

[Mr Frisky]

To be fair if this was on over here 95% of people would think he was a RU player.

See? Who says it isn't a global game?

See? Who says it isn't a global game?

It pretty much still unknown but its finding some popularity thanks to American Football. In a country that is quite poor, a small number of players see it as a people's American football.

But thanks to encouragement through social media they get to watch live streams and YouTube videos.

I think we would have global game if we could change the personal who run the game. I am not saying it would happen overnight.

But we are struggling badly with a culture of tribalism and lack of ambition.

An overly political RFL that has needs to get rid of the knuckle dragging bully boys and needs to start engaging with the few intellectuals our game has.

It will probably surprise some people were Rugby League does have friends and allies.

Wow for the fact that this ad is on Mexican TV... I am guessing that not a lot of people will get the double irony of Billy Slater being on Mexican TV LOL!
