Saracens and Newcastle playing in Philadelphia, in front of a crowd that makes Trump's inauguration look well attended...
The million man march compared to this

Shocking attendance - I won't even use the word crowd.
Apparently 20,000 turned up in Bloemfontein to watch the Cheetahs win in a 13-try humdinger against Zebre - 54-39.

Won't be long before the SA sides are knocking over the Welsh sides too.

Yep. Welsh sides either playing like shit or throwing games away at the death so far this season.

@Stargazer fark has he been gone that long?
-
@taniwharugby Yes, he's in his fourth Top League season. After three seasons with Kintetsu Liners, he's now with Sanix Blues.

-
@Stockcar86 Haha, that's a shocker. Lucky for him that Clermont beat Brive 62 to 6. All will be forgiven!
-
@pakman Nice hat-trick, too! Haha, and Clermont-Brive wouldn't be Clermont-Brive if there weren't scuffles. Always a fierce local rivalry.
Stade Marcel-Michelin only has a capacity of about 19-20k, but it's great to see stadiums like that always full (and noisy).

From the few La Rochelle games I've seen this year, this is very well-deserved!

Not Club Rugby but it is a bit early for a 6N thread.
The 6N sponsorship deal with RBS has finished and 6N are really struggling to find another sponsor. No wonder when the asking price is £100m for 6 years
Six Nations executives have been given until the end of the month to find new sponsors for the biggest annual tournament in world rugby after struggling to find a replacement for RBS, which ended its backing last season after 14 years.
The Six Nations had been looking for a six-year, £100m deal, but having spent the past 12 months talking to a number of potential backers, there is only one firm offer on the table. That is understood to be less than the £11m a year paid by RBS at the end of its contract as the economic uncertainty blown up by Brexit deters sponsors.
The championship starts in February and the tournament committee, which met last week, told its executives that a deal had to be agreed within a fortnight.
While there has been interest from potential sponsors, no one has come anywhere near the asking price and there is concern that further delay could lead to the one offer being withdrawn. That would mean the championship lacking a backer in 2018 and that would blow a significant hole in the finances of the three Celtic unions, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
There are other hurdles facing the Six Nations. Companies are often reluctant to become involved after a long-serving backer exits and it was a constant struggle for RBS to have the media to include its sponsorship when talking or writing about the tournament.The market in sport has tightened after a period of boom. Premiership Rugby failed to find a replacement headline sponsor for Aviva this season after a long search. The company agreed to carry on for another year but for a heavily discounted price –believed to be in the region of 30% less – and the fears of some unions in the Six Nations is that far from securing a bumper package, they will be fortunate to even match the amount RBS paid.
