→Superbowl comparison
::It is a reasonable comparison perhaps, but I should like to hear a reason for its inclusion contained within the article. We could just as easily compare it to the soccer WC or the cricket WC or the world series etc. I would like to hear why the superbowl in particular is the prefered comparison. (And I don't care at all that NFL is related to rugby in its infancy) --[[User:DamianJohn|DamianJohn]] 17:48, 28 January 2012 (EST)

:::What sort of TV viewship ratings does the World Cup average in comparison to the Superbowl? how much does a 30 second ad spot cost in comparison to the Superbowl? [[User:RobSmith|Rob Smith]] 18:07, 28 January 2012 (EST)

:::::A typical Superbowl gets 93 million viewers apparently, practically all of them in the States. Cumulative TV audience for the 2007 World Cup was 4.2 billion over 42 matches, so an average of 100 million per match with the highest figures being for the final. --[[User:GeorgeLi|GeorgeLi]] 21:36, 28 January 2012 (EST)
::::Not sure why that is relevant, but I'd say the total expenditure worldwide for a 30 second ad at halftime in the WC final would be about the same. Of course rugby is a continuous sport so there aren't random ads in the middle of a game. --[[User:DamianJohn|DamianJohn]] 21:03, 28 January 2012 (EST)
