Six Nations rugby games are great because you get 20,000 Welshmen/women travelling to Dublin, same number of English to Edinburgh, Scots to Paris etc etc. You also have hundreds of years of history, to create an edge. Listen to the lyrics of 'Flower of Scotland' and you soon realise they don't care much for their southern big brother neighbours!

In a nutshell you get thousands of passionate travelling fans, filling out the pubs pre game, and creating a great atmosphere inside the stadiums.

European club rugby is just a smaller microcosm of that, and like with football it's played in purpose built rectangular grounds - just small ones like Welford Road in Leicester, Bath Rec in Bath etc. You can almost reach out and touch the players.

The live rugby experience in NZ can be dross in comparison. A tell tale sign is a Mexican wave before HT, to keep the punters interested. Though yeah the on field quality is high.
