What a pointless thread moaning like a bunch of ninnies.
Always prefer football but let's see the crowd on Tuesday against Panama before you start spraying nonsense all over the place about empty seats and bad atmospheres.

Over 300,000 tickets sold for the 4 autumn internationals and all the six nation matches will be sold out. It’s hardly dying.

The WRU have done a brilliant job of wrestling control from the clubs (owners) to themselves at the expense of the club game. Wales is everyone's "club" nowadays, not their local team then the national team as it is in football. Wales is the team they support, there is no connection with the local scene except really local but you are talking 50 men and their whippets at best.
They are making some concessions trying to make the players stay in the four region (2 owned by the WRU) but the horse has bolted i am afraid. You need your best players playing at the highest level and the pro 14 isn't that, France and England is.
They sell most of their tickets even though i feel the price is pretty steep for South Wales, but the six nations and Autumn internationals is Royal Ascot for taffies (not trying to be derogatory) so a lot of people go for a game and go for it.
Football is different. I don't feel the same way about Wales football as Cardiff City. although i was really proud last summer (i didn't go)
