Question

Rugby. now after the RWC, how popular is rugby getting? internationally and just in england?

Answer 1

Rugby Internationals have always been popular because of the Five/Six nations Tournament.  Rugby will become more popular because of the increased coverage, since the RWC was introduced.  

I doubt it will replace football as the national sport, as there isn't the same coverage at club level and gets a fraction of the funding too

Answer 2

well i never used to watch it but since the RWC i have been!

Answer 3

if they keep letting that boring style continue to be played without making some much needed rule changes then its popularity will drop off.

Answer 4

Here in Italy its success increases day by day and the RWC was very important for our team, even if we didn't reach the quarter-finals

Answer 5

well even though im not a great rugby fan i started watching rugby since this rwc.

im in south africa, and everyone was saying that the springboks are going to win. so i watched it and i must say it was quite interesting, although i dont play rugby. it's kinda too rough.

well theres some controversies going on in the squad and the coach, so i wont comment on that.

rugby has always been a south african thing. you'd be surprised that it is the biggest sport here, if not football (soccer).
