[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1046841, member: 73144"] I think this mostly boils down to structure rather than scale, which can be a blessing and a curse. If you believe Wiki (hah!) the registered player bases (senior men) make for interesting reading: ENG: 131,000 - RWCs 1 FRA: 124,000 - RWCs 0 RSA: 113,000 - RWCs 3 USA: 50,000 - RWCs 0 JAP: 48,000 - RWCs 0 AUS: 39,000 - RWCs 2 NZ: 27,000 - RWCs 3 IRE: 25,000 - RWCs 0 WAL: 22,000 - RWCs 0 ITA: 15,000 - RWCs 0 SCO: 11,000 - RWCs 0 Conclusion: WAL, stop worrying about ENG and start comparing yourselves to the ABs....
