>>63012377I doubt a world cup win would make rugby popular here.
At best it would keep it off the deathbed for a while.
In Western Australia, South Australia, Northern Territory, Tasmania and Victoria the game will remain as irrelevant as always.
In the ACT, rugby has always been the most popular code so it will gain nothing there.
In New South Wales, the game will still be a private schoolboy/alumni thing, and soccer will continue it's growth regardless.
In Queensland, as long as the Maroons keep winning Origin, they will never be anything but a league state.
