France would absolutely destroy them, by 150 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it some 9´s games then but you have to have the carrot of internationals sit on top of this work for it to grow. Not sure if internationals have the same appeal to N Americans as they do us, it’s not like there’s an international scene in NFL or CFL, or baseball.

They are huge followers of the national teams - men's and women's - in soccer though and it's the international 7s in RU that get the biggest support. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

I think what we’re seeing is a levelling our of what these clubs can deliver, from a player resource point of view. We will also see how sustainable they are over the months and what development has been made in the next year or so. Going to be interesting and I hope RL there can really grow.
