Hi Terry. I think you'll find not to far in the distant future that North American Rugby Teams will be up there with the 1st tier teams, as with professional players well and truly entrenched around the globe the level of experience and skill can only grow.It only takes the grass root games to catch on with the public and Bob's your uncle. I was speaking to a recent immigrant from Russia last week and he told me that Rugby is really starting to gain favour there, even to the point where some schools are fielding teams. I think it was a BBC correspondent at the beginning of the tournament asked, why don't the Pacific Island nations field a combined team for the tournament. The reply was "there is , there called the All Blacks"
