Quote ="bramleyrhino" That's ultimately down to the clubs to tap into those markets. There is nothing stopping any club from promoting themselves in Liverpool, Manchester or those parts of Leeds where the game isn't well known. '"
If you genuinely think it is the responsibility of professional clubs to get the sport played in more schools then there is no point continuing this conversation. What club is inspiring people to play RU in Leeds? But I can guarantee that RU will be played in more schools than RL in Leeds and there are also definitely more amateur RU clubs in the city. But hey I am sure a team in Toronto (and possibly another French team) is gonna push participation and school funding through the roof!
