Or you could give all of the players skates and introduce everyone to 
hockey. I hear it's pretty popular in certain parts of the world. ;-)

In order for people to want to go watch a rugby game, the players should 
be provided with the proper field and gear.

Trust me, watching people slide around on an ice rink without the right
gear is not the crowd pleaser you might expect it to be.

I'm not denying the importance of momentum, just questioning if it is 
the only thing that is important.
