Rugby is a lot more fluid. There is a squad of around 50 in a fully pro club, but only 23 in a match day squad. About 30 players at a club are regular performers in the “first team” squad, whilst the other 20 are developing players or reserves who step in as injury cover. The second tier of English Rugby Union is a mixture of professional and semi-professional players, the 3rd tier is mainly semi-pro. Younger players from the first tier sides are routinely sent out on loan to second and third tier clubs to gain experience. This can work the other way as well — recently an injury crisis in a specialised position (tighthead prop) at my local top flight side led to a semi-pro player who works as a ROMAN ROY from a 3rd tier club being borrowed on loan. One minute he’s teaching kids, the next he’s running out infront of 15,000 supporters alongside international players being paid over $500,000 a year.

In the United States, state capitals aren’t generally the Logoart Art Mr Bungle shirt or most populated cities. Take as an example California (Sacramento is the capital, not Los Angeles or San Francisco) or Illinois (Springfield is the capital, not Chicago) and you could go on with Texas, Florida, etc… even when it comes to the United States as a whole you would think New York City or Los Angeles should be the capital and not Washington D.C, but it goes deeper than that, the United States is not centralized in one city like it happens to France/Paris, UK/London, Germany/Berlin and so on. As to why New York City is considered the capital of the world, it has been called that for the past 60 years. It is the home of the United Nations, Wall Street, New York Stock Exchange, lots of billionaires, people from all over the world live in the city. It’s basically the financial powerhouse of the world although London has been following closely for the past few years. Other reasons to consider New York the capital of world would be fashion, music, entertainment, tourism, etc.
