Rugby is not really funded sufficiently in the UK i.e. lack of sponsorship etc

Erm, dunno why. lol
But really, Rugby isn't thought of on the same sort of level as Football throughout the UK, not just Wales. To be honest, rugby is more of a gentlemans game. Even after a ruckus on the pitch, the players still tend to get on, and its very, very rare that you get serious trouble with louts after a rugby game.

its called a scrum
but the point is, footballers have get carted off if they get a slight tackle with abit of blood - rugby, there no such thing unless your arm is missing or you have to have surgery ASAP etc Rugby is faaaaarrr more bruatal than football and is probably on par with American Football, especially considering theres no protection wore in rugby.
Plus its alot more interested and less predictable like Football
But like dan said, rugby is REALLY under funded and it would be great if it did start to get some backing and funding from major companies - even winning the world cup, only gathered a little be of attention for a month or so
