[QUOTE="Josht36, post: 770364, member: 70964"] I'm always a little hesitant to believe these numbers. Admittedly I am from a part of the Midlands that isn't a major rugby hotspot but it is very very rare that I meet anyone that plays rugby. 2 million indicates a fairly significant portion of the population are registered players and from my experience this simply isn't true. Does anyone know these how numbers are collated? Is it purely registered clubs? Or does it count schools such as mine did which play rugby once or twice a year in PE towards being registered players in order for the teacher to tick off a sport. Noone knew the rules, we ran around like headless chickens and then we were glad to get back to a proper sports like rounders the next lesson. Clearly these lessons weren't designed to produce england rugby's next generation. I'd be quite interested if anyone has any background on this . [/QUOTE]
