20k is a pathetic crowd to send off the boys to the euros for the first time,it should be a full house. The rugby boys get a min of 50k for their Autumn friendly's and often a 75k sell out! Why don't the football fans support their country?

I agree, but it wasn't so long ago that Wales were only getting 8-12k for a friendly. There's usually quite a decent walk-up crowd for Wales games as well, so it should be around 25k or so, which would be the same as the Netherlands game.

I agree, all internationnal rugby is, is an excuse for people to go to Cardiff and get pissed in their egg chasing tops.

The Dragons get double the crowd that County get, Scarlets get double the crowds compared to Wrexham? Premiership rugby clubs get far bigger CROWDS than their football counterparts. You cannot just compare Cardiff and Swansea where the football clubs are doing better at the moment, when in the lower leagues they were getting less than their rugby counterparts.People follow success no matter what sport and at International level rugby is streets ahead as shown by the sell out CROWDS?

Scarlets average crowd for Pro 12 games this season has been 7028 (which would have been 1000 less had the figure not been boosted by their 14568 attendance for local Ospreys derby).

Considering this is the top division of rugby, and Llanelli is supposedly such a rugby mad town, it's a pretty poor figure.

And their European games has attracted an average crowd of 7034. Considering this is their equivalent to football Champions League, it's a pathetic figure.
