Rugby? Is that like a game ..............ooops. It's like Cricket, I need someone who knows the game to sit beside me and explain it to me so I understand what's going on. I just don't get them, and I'm a sports junkie. [B)]

Only Impact Support has been the one pushing it.

At this point, I've now been pushing this less and less. The only reason I saw this as a model at the time is concerning the use or underuse of existing resources and structures notably the provincial select teams. More and more I've been looking at a North American way using the Voyageurs Cup as a Canada Open Cup and the Can-Am Cup as a North American Division 1 Championship.

To elaborate :

Division 1 - Can-Am Cup 12 teams home and away competition

Division 2 - 12 regional conferences (e.g. Great Lakes=Michigan, Ohio, Western Ontario)covering Canada and the US

Division 3 - 12 regional conferences

Division 4 - provincial and state leagues

Just a thought.

I would back up the RCSL as a blueprint. It would be successful if rugby had even half the number of participants and supporters that soccer has... but they have an actual infrastructure which is worthy of copying, IMHO.

The RCSL basically replaced the old Provincial squads with far more regional teams. The teams are run by the respective RU's in those regions. Teams are basically run on PDL-Style budgets

RCSL Attendance from 2003 (World Football Rankings):

Black Spruce (NB): 1,530

Newfoundland Rock: 1,601

Nova Scotia Keltics: 1,652

Ottawa Harlequins: 312

Toronto Xtremes: 2,764

Calgary Mavericks: 883

Edmonton Gold: 432

Prarie Fire (SK): 890

Manitoba Buffaloes: 777

Vancouver Wave: 1,551

Vancouver Island Crimson Tide: 1,222
