@RugbyPass@neilfissler Spot on……also the comment by Sanderson that they will have a better squad than they’ve got now……not sure I’d be overly impressed if I was an existing squad member……
@terrychristian Second jobs are just the tip of the iceberg. The biggest issue is the lobbying and associated payments to support big pharma, food or defence is far more endemic and invisible to the public but far more damaging
@markismith50 Maybe…..but that probably ignores the egos at play, the different and conflicting stakeholders. As we’ve seen in other areas of the sport the conflicts are huge…..and this is not just limited to rugby to be fair
@markismith50 Need the right type of money though. I just can’t believe something couldn’t have been done with the existing broadcasters joining together to structure something properly for the benefit of the clubs and fans rather than pander to another marginal media company.
@Saracens@Harlequins I’ve been to a number of these but no more as it offers nothing for the away fan. And it absolutely doesn’t have to be a London derby as @Harlequins more than demonstrate with the Big Game and Big Summer Kick Off
