The post I responded to was the one that said International Union dwarfs the club scene.....I have shown that twice as many people attended Aviva Games than Twickenham for Internationals over the same period.....I fail to see how that points to International Union dwarfing the club scene?
As for healthy debate, if you're not up for it, then fine, but advising others should be left to those with something valid to say. I am happy to admit when I am wrong........I don't believe I am wrong in this instance.

I fail to see how your 'statistics' prove anything either way, you compared the overall attendance of hundreds (?) of Aviva games with less than 10 internationals. How is that a fair comparison exactly?
Your inane argument continues to baffle me, especially with you failing to answer my previous post.

Ask the average Yawnion fan in this country who they support and the answer is usually 'England'

Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions

Stuart Barnes is a total kn0b....said the punch on Farrell wasnt a sending off as farrell had hold of him and then questioned Farrells temperment after Farrell went for him.The Baa baas hooker chinned him with a lovely left hook and only got a yellow.

I've never bought into the Lions much either,I watch the other internationals with interest but never grasped the actual purpose of the Lions or Barbarians existence. Yet 30,000 are heading down under to cheer them on. I must be missing something!

Lions test series are one of the very few RU events that I will sit down to watch. To me it's an event like the ashes or ryder cup that grabs the attention of people who otherwise don't watch those sports.

I dont know getting the best players from the home countries together with players from Ireland and touring places like Australia and NZ sounds like a good idea to me. I believe RL used to do something similar with GB

If SL clubs would agree to central contracts and the governing body dictating how many times they could play their best players, you might be able to fit full tours back into the RL calendar.
Not going to happen though.
