[QUOTE="ratsapprentice, post: 590417, member: 67273"] The T14 has started to attract the best players from the SH (that are also coming to the end of their international careers) because of the money. Playing in a town like Toulon or Toulouse where they will be famous and live a fairly nice lifestyle outside of their rugby is certainly a draw too. Saying it's not about money is supremely naive. It's not that much different from the EPL. I have been able to watch French rugby for a number of years and choose not to, I simply don't enjoy it as much as I do other leagues. It is enjoyable, certainly, but it's no way near as popular as S15 is with people outside of France. People generally prefer their domestic league more than other domestic leagues. I don't understand where this whole "we are the envy of the world" thing has come from. [/QUOTE]
