It's a big ask to enhance RL's international profile when it remains a million miles away from establishing a national one.
But the international profile can drag the national one with it. It's not going to work the other way around. The only sport that's done that is football and we are nowhere close to the behemoth that football is.
People outside the heartlands really aren't bothered about seeing Wakefield play Salford. Most of them don't even know where those places are. They might take a passing interest in Wigan v Leeds or Wigan v Saints but not much more than that.
Put England v Australia or New Zealand (or a competitive France or Wales) on and they'll start paying attention.
