Rugby Union has been professional for just over 10 years now and the game has never been in such great shape. The 2007 Rugby World Cup was the 3rd most watched competition in the woarld and more money than ever is being pumped into the major competitions in Europe and the Southern Hemisphere.
In this time of rude health, however, the top international teams are creating a bigger and bigger gap between themselves and the second and third tier nations. 'The State of the Union' website promotes stories of 2nd and 3rd tier countries to help rugby union become a truelly global game.
