    I think rugby has a good chance of success if it grows a grassroots program so that people without a college education can get into teams .any sport you can make a living at is a good thing. I think America football has to be a boring game to play with so little game time just sitting and waiting for your turn

    The two ways I see MLR growing the game here are: 1. If they can get ti a level of stability where no teams are dying. 2. If they can grow enough to where a lower league/leagues can form under them. The US is big, and having a team closer goes a big way to make people fans.

    Went and watched a few MLR games, seems defence is optional, so spectators might be happy, high scoring games. However, they will never compete in the real world. It occurred to me, Rugby is quite tribal, small countries do well. How do you create that friction in a country like USA, to get them where they need to be?

    MLS was smart to build 20K seaters-- I could see MLR drawing such crowds eventually, and since MLS teams DO need to play games on the road, what better use for the park, if the MLS/NWSL/UFL team playing there (like at Audi Field, for example) isn't in Washington on a given Saturday/Sunday, than to have Old Glory play there?

    The URC attendance figures are wrong. You only took in the European games. The games played in South Africa exceed a attendance of over 15 to 20 Thousand spectators each game + The finals of the URC are sold out every time 50 000 + . Both the urc finals being played in South Africa the last 2 URC games in South Africa saw an attendance of almost 40 000 in one game and just over 25 000 in the other game.

    Nice video. But maybe don’t compare highest to averages cos premierships highest is 82,000. The average attendance this season in the MLR has been 2,686 so is not comparable to the other major leagues. It’s closest comparison would be the Italian URC teams. But I think that it can grow, America is often referred to as a sleeping giant of rugby and if they create a large scale program to train american football players as rugby players could be massive. They also need to build the collage game to have talent to draw from

  • @sammyx2

    In the video I do say that the top attendances are close to matching the averages of the big leagues, however MLR is no where near as consistent in that regard. The main point being that even after a few years of the competition, MLR has shown it can draw crowds that are comparable to Premiership/URC/Top 14 regular season games.

    It's that lack of technicality that I love... You see plays in the USMLR that you rarely see in top international teams these days. Fumbles turning into remarkable plays, turning the ball over inside the scrum... just little things that make you go "Wow! How did that happen!?". That being said... last couple of games I noticed a strong up tick in technical play, pre-planned plays executed well etc. So they are definitely getting better.

    MLR doesn’t need to join the North American Big 4, it just needs to be self sustaining. A 40 man squad making an average of 50k a year in 20k stadiums is the dream, at least for right now. Championship TV ratings have slipped a bit, but I think that’s not as big of an issue as one might think. The novelty has worn off, so MLR has lost a lot of casual fans who watched because it was new and different, but they’ve also gained a lot of new rugby fans who watch for the sake of rugby, and that’s the base who’s going to spend on tickets and merch and drive the league’s success. There’s a solid fan base that’s being built before the 2031 RWC, which could be the catalyst for rugby getting mainstream popularity
