It is freely accepted that 4.2 billion is wrong.........RLWC 2013 Final attracted 100k in aussie, 36k in NZ and 1.8 in the UK.....RWC final 2011 attracted 17,000,000 in France alone...at 9am......

People turn up for a parade. They turn up for the most minor of celebrities turning on the Christmas lights in their town or city.

I would venture that most fans in attendance to England RU matches rarely/if ever go watch a club games. It is mostly for the social occasion & atmosphere as opposed to RL fans who go mostly for the rugby. Herein lies the difference in international rugby, at least in this country.
The hype/hyperbole drummed up in the media HAS had a massive effect, it continues to do so but RU is already deep into the national psychy but it is the ongoing sense of occasion/excitement that propels itself. Also England RU might have a chance of winning or getting close in both the 6N & WC. RU fans are also a lot more pragmetic than RL fans, they'll still turn up in droves even if England RU get battered as they did against Wales last 6N
