Why didn't Rugby take off in the Indian subcontinent? (feddit.uk)

There's a good crossover between the best Rugby nations and the best Cricketing nations; I'm assuming this is down to good old fashioned British colonialism?

Which leads me to wonder why Rugby never gained the same level of support in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka as it did in New Zealand, South Africa, Australia and Fiji.

Or am I totally wrong and the two things aren't remotely related?

The indian brigade on reddit is wild. If their lies aren't picked up by others, anything that props up India is flooded to the top and any criticism is considered racism.

One of the benefits of overpopulation on the internet.
