Could be interesting watching Super Rugby matches hosted in USA. Hope the boks don't eat too much fast food when they play there!

The amount of money the US can throw around - expect many teams locally to lose their key players.
Bok colours or de not.

I've noticed NFL fans from the state transition extremely heavily into Rugby once they really get into it, this is a very smart move.

Neither does NASCAR, but they fill that up with adverts. They will probably add time outs to put adverts on.

One comment:

I’m not sure the people in the States are smart enough to grasp this game. They voted Obama in twice.

Gotta love the comment section

The adverts alleviate the boredom between crashes. Driving in a big circle for 3 hours does leave a lot of space for advertising.
