There were so many logistical issues with that game and I think the stadium in Baltimore, I've been there actually, it's a more modern stadium so I think it'll probably be a little bit better equipped.

I mean, Soldier Field's on the way out, Chicago are building a new stadium so that possibly, and the pitch was terrible and apparently Soldier Field is known for having the worst pitch in the NFL so that didn't help either.

a couple of the Kiwis they've got bad knee injuries in the game and that was partly attributed to the pitch so yeah I guess you have to learn the lessons but rugby is obsessed with America they have a World Cup there in 2031 There is not a chance rugby is going to make any inroad in America

I don't think they even want to.

I don't think they think they can be the NFL or they can be even what football is.

But it's such a small market.

It's just one of those things that everyone has to say.

It's just bizarre.

But they think if they can get like 2% of the American market, that still exponentially increases what they're making.

I don't think it's going to work but they're like they're not talking about taking America they're like talking about just hiving off little quadrants of America which has so much money and it's such a big market that if you get those little areas and you get broadcast deals it will just increase what you're getting but like they're going about it I think the wrong way they're kind of putting events there rather than trying to build it from the ground up it's

To me, it's our space, but they're not stopping.

Ireland will be there next year.

I'm not sure which window Ireland will be there, but Ireland are committed to being there every year for the next six years in some form.

So they have to learn the lessons if they're going to make it work.

And they have this World Cup.

What state is America going to be in by 2031 when the World Cup arrives?

What state is it going to be in next summer when the football World Cup arrives?

It's an interesting place to be doing business right now.

I went to see the Colts.

Sorry, I went to see the Ravens host the Colts.
