No...normally a debate involves an exchange of views, but you disagree with me (even though you know I am right) and therefore you call me names...

No again. I am thrilled that the crowds have turned up but I still believe the number of heritage players devalues the comp and it's potential legacy....France, PNG and Wales are 3 of the better countries when it comes to home born players.....they are 72% born in the country they represent....yet teams like Scotland and Italy (8%) are reaping the rewards of the heritage rule but adding no long term legacy. You know I am right, so you lay a smoke screen of attendances to hide the fact that I have a point.
I never questioned attendances by the way.....I questioned the organisers ability to get press releases out that were coherent and I still do.......
to date, after 14 games, we are 11k down on 2008 BTW......At a fiver a ticket I'd temper some of that back slapping for now
