       That would take too long and leave no time for line out
       training. Babies have been scientifically proven to be just the
       right size.

       > Many rugby clubs have a stack of "free" copies of the magazine

       the low end. However, if you include the Mail, Sun etc, then the
       figures are still roughly the same ~ 25-30% of the Sunday papers
       reach their target audience which is roughly the same as the
       Rugby Paper. My admittedly crude effort to highlight the figures
       was mainly to point out that rather more than "no one" (i.e.
       ~70,000) reads the paper.

       It shifts 17000, give away and bulk don’t count.
       And those national papers aren’t just targeting the audience you
       describe so the comparison doesn’t work - being into rugby is
       far more specific than being “Tory” or “Labour”
       The point is it sells less than some really niche weird weekly
       magazines.
       17k sales is really really really small.
       No one reads it.

       It's a good job you're here to steer us away from such nonsense,
       Blucher: where would we be without you guidance? I, for one,
       will hug you for your prescience. [emoji173]

       Why buy TRP when you can read RugbyPass for free?

       I get the TRP most Sundays and read it as does my other half,
       and KQ junior when he's home. Our local two supermarkets have
       4-5 each on a Sunday and usually you can't get one on a Monday.
       Readership is likely up to at least twice the 17K unless the
       other 16,999 are purchased to shred for cat litter, composted
       and/or used to light fires rather than being read.
       It's got a limited readership but good coverage of the English
       game down through the levels, including reportage down to levels
       5 and 6,  results and tables down to Level 10 and some Welsh(not
       just Pro14) and some French. So it's not read by no one. At
       least three readers and 16,999 buy it to light fires.

       Plus 3 more in our house - I think it has become more 'tabloid'
       in the last year or so and with social media it can be 'old
       news' by the time they go to print but I particualry enjoy
       seeing results from local lower league teams and clubs I have
       played for in the past.

       Or join READLY (just my opinion nothing to gain!)  and get this
       plus loads of other weekly / monthly magazines, eg  Rugby World,
       on a digital device for £8 per month!

       I do hope the donors are true. A proven to quality lock is what
       we need to replace Horwill. We will miss him next season
