America have more rugby then people think, especially in the North East areas around the New England area. I have friends who play college rugby over there, and it is taken deadly serious.

It's definitely on the up there and would suit their physical, fast and aggressive team sports which are favoured most of all in USA.

well i never knew that, super league teams will be getting american players across soon haha

I played for Philadelphia Fight against New York at War at the Shore, this was some 4 years ago when I went over to New Jersey and I had a great time. They played at a very high standard. the captain of fight at the time was captain of USA also. Great experience!

The sooner it does take off over there the better IMHO

I can just see the union hacks stating it's a game that can't survive outside the Route 66 corridor,lol

Read I few months ago anthony minichello and nathan hindmarsh where debating finishing their careers there. I t
hink the rabbitohs did a pre season game In jacksonville. Probably got more chance of rl catching on in the u s of a then in london. Could pull on a massive pool of unlucky not to have made it nfl players.

If anybody intrested in the AMNRL link to on social network site.

was it true that 25.000 watched russia v usa a few years back in moscow ?

Wouldn't be surprised. Suits American's sporting choices down to the ground. Just a matter of time until it kicks off IMO, but will take really something to break into the real limelight of American sports.
