Rugby union has a large Jr's in Australia and its not just the private schools that plays them now .

What is your definition of 'large'? Compared to AFL, League and soccer it's nothing. Compared to whats available in NZ it's nothing.

I note some resistance to my assertion the Wallabies have done very well despite a lack of human resources. Why?

Mate you have been to too many anti union forum that you will believe Dimitri and gang .
You might find that the rugby league and rugby union numbers in Jrs are not far off each other .
Soccer and AFL are way ahead of both league and rugby .

Rugby league juniors are far stronger then rugby. Kids who play rugby in Sydney have to be conveyed all over the place to have a game. League kids remain in their own district.

You continue to resist my assertion. You just can't wear the fact the Wallabies are a miracle team. Their record makes the underachieving ABs blush with embarrassement. Justin Marshall will have no hair soon. He keeps pulling it out in frustration.

Gunna since you know better than most of us . Can you tell us how many Jr's
does league have in Oz and how Jr's does rugby have ?
You will find that soccer and AFL Jr's are way ahead of league and rugby .

So you are now a Wallabies fan now aye ? What Wallabies record ? Didn't the All Blacks and Wallabies won one games each this year ?
If you want to look at records then you can look at the history of the All Blacks and you will see that no team can come close to the Mighty Blacks except for the Springboks .

Living in the past my friend. Can I suggest a new song for the AB's fans. Those were the days by Mary Hopkins.

I don't have to go searching websites for facts and figures when I already know what 99.9% of the population already know. Rugby is a nothing game in Australia but you can't wear that because you want to cling to some sort of 'we are invincible myth'. Get real.

If your national game is ping pong and no other country plays that game then naturally you are going to have a pretty good international record. Simple enough for you Einstein? Bye.

Ummmm are you talking about league again ? because you are right there is less interest in league than Union on the international scene even in Aus. You should come in here more often Gunna its enjoyable to see you shoot yourself in the foot so often.
