There’s a good crossover between the best Rugby nations and the best Cricketing nations; I’m assuming this is down to good old fashioned British colonialism?
Which leads me to wonder why Rugby never gained the same level of support in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka as it did in New Zealand, South Africa, Australia and Fiji.
Or am I totally wrong and the two things aren’t remotely related?
Rugby isn’t popular in England? Are you mad?
Rugby union playing countries
It’s the third most popular sport, after cricket which most people that I’ve met in the UK have no interest in.
