Quote: William Eve "Thought it might have been staged in Dubai or somewhere else that's warm and exotic in order to spread the RL gospel to the whole wide world and showcase that the summer rugby doctrine is where it's at.
Shame it's being played in a cold winter month in erm...Leeds.
Epic fail then.'"
I worked in the UAE for a year or so and took some Arab friends to an expats RU match. The finer points of the game were totally lost on them, indeed they were more interested when one of the players had his shirt torn.
So rugby over there is ok for a 7's competition once a year with fans flying out for a jolly but other than some RU vets level expat´s stuff it is a none starter IMO
