Kiki A we just need someone who can promote it. If we keep bringing in players like Ma’a Nonu to play In the MLR (Major League Rugby the top pro league in America) it will garner more fans. Our youth rugby is growing, slowly but still growing nonetheless. I have high hopes. Might be another 30yrs before it gets to where I want it to be but I’ll wait.
@@TSB43 I hope so. Right now the big names in rugby are really not big names in the US across the board because it just isn't a popular sport....as of now. I hope it does get more popular because I'd rather watch rugby over the other US sports any day.
Kiki A I was talking about players after they leave super rugby or other pro rugby. USA rugby is like the Big 3 compared to the NBA. I’m fine taking the older heads bc they will help grow the sport not only in popularity but knowledge and experience for local players. We’ve come a long way in just the last 20yrs but it’s still a longer climb to get to the potential we all know it can be.
I see a comments about the size of South African schools boys, don't deny it they're big, but geez the skill level of these boys, the passing, off loading in tackles one handed and the continuity. Those are the things we nurture in our rugby, quality skill and imposing your game will go along to winning.
@@CoadyGakpo-k8g I'm not that versed in school rugby since i no longer live there. That said they are very good especially kings, but even they would probably not be top 5 in country, they would be top 10 though.
Possibly but only because they are so much bigger than the kiwi kids. As they become adults that size advantage disappears and the more skilled kiwi players then start to dominate.
Yeah cause thses are South island schools, Grey college beat southland like 50-0 but also Paarl Boys lost to Christchurch Boys but grey college game that was a mismatch, they need to play top Super 8 or Auckland 1A schools Notrh Island Schools
@@AK-wc9rl Depends what schools play, the Auckland 1A TOP schools and Super 8 top schools would beat them, Christchurch Boys beat Paarl Boys who a always top in RSA school Rugby.. All depends which teams play eachother
