[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 640910, member: 43400"] No, my point wasn't the crowd figures/actual attendence, it was that because CFL and Aussie Rules are both solely domestic sports, they don't have an international component to their game. If you want to go to the best match that a particular sport has to offer, in CFL and Aussie Rules, it's a "club" game by default (because there are no internationals). If you want to go and see the "best" rugby in a SANZAR country, you'll go to a test match (not a Super Rugby game). I am pointing out, that a comparison between CFL and Super Rugby is a flawed argument, because CFL lacks the international component to compete for the fan's dollars, that Super Rugby has. I had no intention of actually comparing CFL and Aussie Rules ... just pointing out that they are more "alike" in terms of competition within their own code, than what Super Rugby was to CFL [/QUOTE]
