Quote: Lebron James "It’s always around the 25k to 35k Mark. To be fair though, Army v Navy gets around 60-70k so maybe the bbc should show that. As another comparison the RL navy v army gets about 1.2k

Regards

King James'"

I wouldn’t mind watching the Army v Navy on the BBC. I don’t think the pompous in charge of sports should show their old uni’s varsity game however.

Quote: SecondRowSaint "Was it a good standard? I know for current universities they're nowhere near the best. Leeds Met and Northumbria dominate the Northern Premier League and country at BUCS level, with Loughborough and Uni of Gloucester being the best of the Southern Premier League.'"

How are the university’s in the Challenge Cup selected?
Loughborough and Hull University in round one.

Quote: Little Ivor "Pretty decent, probably next step down from that. Unfortunately in recentyears Cambridge have struggled somewhat'"


There's a big difference in quality for that step down imo. Oxford University aren't the better side in Oxford anymore, Brookes have been the better team recently from what I've seen.

Quote: Little Ivor "How are the university’s in the Challenge Cup selected?

I've got no idea. From the few articles i've seen on it I think it's random, or the best of the rest.

Northumbia have the same coach and share some players with Newcastle Thunder so that may rule them out. However, bringing in 2nd team players wouldn't be a huge drop as they're a good team too.

I don't know enough about Leeds Met to know what would rule them out, but they're Northern Premier winners for 2017 so are probably the best team for this season.

Loughborough have won the Southern Premier so deserve their place on the basis of being the best side in the South.

Quote: Sir Kevin Sinfield "I quite like watching 7’s thanks very much, when did I say otherwise?

I was just commenting that there looked less than 100 people in the crowd, just big empty stands, the kind of sight some RLfans members would wet their pants over if it was an RL event and claim it would never happen in union.

No idea what the stadiums called but there were lots of HSBC and Fly Emirates adverts, didn’t notice any others. I don’t think anyone was on the concourse eithe
Yip...you're right.....in the space of 12 months Dubai has gone from over 100k to 2 blokes and a couple of air stewardess's d040.gif
Having attended Las Vegas, Straylya, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Dubai last year I can confirm that the concourse areas are often more rammed than the stadiums until about the last 3 games of each day......then it's karaoke time...as I say, not spectators but they are present!

As for RL fans whining about empty seats.....League punches well above it social demographic weight crowd size wise.....60k+ in Newcastle for an event not dissimilar to a sevens tournament is perfectly acceptable!

Really? I've played against both in recent years and found Brookes better.

Quote: Sir Kevin Sinfield " I watched a little bit of the HSBC Dubai sevens last week, there looked less than 100 people at that major global sporting event.'"

Did you catch any of the SA Sevens? Here's an old workmates selfie.....I suspect the concourse wasn't full at the time
