It doesn’t. It’s why the idea of our Clubs being a third tier is absurd. The resources required for the uplift would be crippling and not bare the fruits of the cost.

And yet you suggested that clubs like Glendale, OMBAC and NYAC should have been the vessels in the States?
I just pointed out having actively followed the game in the States alongside other T2 nations for quite some time now that these clubs have resources on the level of Subbies clubs. It's been tried and failed in the past.

For the standard of the MLR it could develop Eagles and the game in the US. Very different to the goals of RA and the Wallabies.
The sleeping giant spiel about the US is garbage. They will never be a top tier nation. More likely to be good at Soccer before Rugby.
I follow these comps as well. Know many involved across them. A lot of people do if you’re around circles here. I don’t care so much about Currie cup players and even ITM cup. Edmed went and brained it…then you have 14 Currie Cup teams minus all the guys overseas…
Was said by a few weeks ago that I’ll be surprised if the MLR exists in 3-5 years but good luck to some Clubbies if they can get some coin out of footy. It’s a tough gig to earn.
