The soccer types who feign a dislike of rugby but yet obsess over it, have a curious habit of trying to reduce everything to soccer parlance. A contender for most irrelevant point of the thread - New Zealand are 119 in the soccer rankings. So what? Where are Kilkenny and Limerick in the official Gaelic football rankings (as compiled by Martin Breheny).

What’s your evidence that they don’t take rugby seriously?
More people prefer rugby to soccer there.
That’s factually untrue.
Silly goose doesn’t understand television ratings.
You’ll get over it.
Here’s something that’s very funny but I can’t explain why.
The combined population for the top 3 ranked teams in football (Belgium, France and Brazil) is 286 million. The combined population for the top 3 ranked teams in rugby (New Zealand, Ireland and Wales) is only 14.5 million! Why is this so funny to me?
It’s very strange that the top 3 rubby nations are also countries with a history of sheep shagging.

In terms of sheep population the top 3 rugby teams annihilate soccer.
Over what?
I don’t think I ever said that soccer wasn’t a lot more popular worldwide, just you are ignorant of the true tv ratings and people the puff pieces.
Less than 12m people in the US watched the final and you’re going over 2 billion in total worldwide tv audience.
