Quote ="Sir Kevin Sinfield"Just noticed the bbc are showing Oxford university v Cambridge university rugby union tomorrow. There must be close to zero interest in this game, it smacks of the public school old boys brigade, what next Eton’s under 16’s games?'"

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

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!

Quote ="SecondRowSaint"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.'"
