I take it to be roughly parallel with the popularity of Rugby in the US --
there're a few teams around the NY area, but they represent a small area and
not a big one -- there's a Manhattan team, and IIRC a Brooklyn team. (Okay,
logic flaw in that Manhattan and Brooklyn have huge populations...but
there's also one in New Canaan, Connecticut (aka Yuppieville) and IIRC
Chappaqua, NY (Clintonville).

Just throwing out some thochts.
