The sevens version of the game will certainly be able to explode in the inner cities.

Sevens, I could definitely see a possibility. It's just hard to see black kids getting into rugby, unless they change they unis. no way they wear those Larry bird-like shorts.

Soccer is growing big time. And now you can watch the top league games from across the pond every weekend. And the MLS is passing NBA in terms of attendance. Also for our ADHD society, the game is guaranteed to last not much longer than 90 minutes.

And for the people that call it slow and boring, you need to watch the game's best play and then get back to me. If you dont like it, fine. But to paint it with a wide brush like that is ridiculous.

And I will be all for more rugby exposure in this country. Definitely needs to start at the youth level as said. Many adults like me have a very simple understanding of the game and its rules. That's my biggest roadblock.
