With tackling Id say my tip is try different styles. I was a really good attacking fullback. Id score multiple tries a game. But I couldnt tackle for crap so I was always in lower levels. Everyone would try to teach me. Theyd teach the hit in the lower chest lift leg and drive backwards. That does not work fo a fullback. Once I learnt to tackle by wrapping up the legs I was significantly better but by the I was mid 20s and just playing for fun.

What is it about rugby Union is why it’s not a very popular sport. Here in America, it’s a pretty unknown sport. American football is very popular and more people watch American football here than any other sport

Great video and I agree with everything you say. I was at England v Samoa in the semi final in 2022 and it was one of the greatest games I've ever seen in either code. Samoa literally have some of the best players in the world in League who have been dominating the NRL with Penrith. When they reached the final the police force in Apia did a Siva Tau in tribute. Even the Rock sent a message. That just wasn't thinkable 20 years ago. This was after Tonga ended up beating all the traditional Rugby League giants of Australia, England and New Zealand in the space of a few years. Fiji also managed to beat New Zealand. This like you say just encourages interest as they realise they have a chance of winning the top prize. I do see similarities with the what happened with the great West Indies Test cricket team. If you'd said 30 years ago that the West Indies would be 10th in the world ranked behind Bangladesh and Afghanistan, I'm not sure anyone would have thought it possible. The reasons are similar though: England, India and Australia basically have the money and the other nations struggle to pay their players as they can't get the big Test teams to visit them. This causes the players to go to T20 where they can make millions and Test cricket slowly gets smaller and smaller. The paying the players the same money was such a smart move by Rugby League and I feel it has to happen in Union. But as you say my worry is will the financial interests want that?

All the dooms day comments from fans to administration hasn't helped. The players and the game do the best talking for the attraction to the game. Totally agree with cheaper tickets at the gate/online to get healthier crowds, which attracts more advertising and sponsorships. Rugby in Australia just needs a solid comp with more teams (about 16), build from the ground up or take and expand the Shute Shield a little nationally. A couple more freeview games needed (currently only 1 game) on free to air, Nine has 3 NRL games free to air per week.

I have a dream... Would be interesting to see the top 4 of each world rugby league play a straight forward knockout format till there's a winner. I know it's fanciful thinking due to congested fixture lists. But I would imagine the two European cup finalists automatically qualify and that allows the 5th ranked team in that respective league to qualify. Also applicable for English teams. So for example the 5th teams placed in the URC and Top 14 as Leinster and Toulouse will automatically qualify being European Cup finalists. If Sarries played then the 5th English Premier gets a look in. Then the top four from the URC, 4 from the French Top 14, 4 from the English premiership and 4 from SuperRugby then maybe invite the winners of the Japanese league and the best South American club. This way each top tier nation will be represented and will create renewed interest among club supporters. Each play home and away like the soccer European cup with away points counting more. Each winner on to the next round and a home and away final winner takes all so no one can complain about home advantage. Maximum 8 games. Play it in the year between RWC's and knock international games on the head for those two months. We already do it for the RWC so it can be done. Start all games on the same weekend and complete the competition in 6-8 weeks. None of these long drawn out fixture lists that take months and months to complete where fans lose track and interest as it just takes too long. Best total score between the 2 games determines the winner. Imagine your club playing the second final at home knowing that they only need to beat their opponents by a certain margin to be world club champions but knowing that the opposition points are worth more due them playing away from home. Players play for the club that employs them. There are some serious international World Cup winners plying their trade in the Japanese league. I wouldn't want to play a Japanese team with Ardie Savea, PSDT, Kwagga Smith, Damian Dallende, Jesse Kriel, Beauden Barret, Aaron Smith, Richie Mounga, Brodie Retallick lurking around. I'd definitely watch these games as it would give a strong indication of which league has the most powerful teams and the different styles of play. Imagine your team being known as World Club champions... How cool would that be. It would also maybe encourage teams to play outside their normal strategies due to away points counting more. Something like the home teams converted try counting the standard 7 points but for the away team it counts 10. This will bring in new tactics and ways of playing. The teams playing the second fixtures know away points count more so they'll go gang busters for the win...I can hear Dr Rassie's brain whirring away already 😁. Each group will only have teams from other countries in it. For example you can't start with a group having Toulouse and La Rochelle in it. But it's also possible that 2 teams from the same country could reach the finals. So a group would have the no 1 ranked team from their league for eg Leinster then nr 2 from another League (Exeter Chiefs for eg) then 3rd placed team in SuperRugby (possibly The Tahs or the Highlanders) and the 4th placed team in the Top 14 (Castres or Bordeaux). Imagine the endless possibilities in match ups. Clubs will be strongly incentivised to retain players and to grow strong youth academies. Imagine a Toulouse vs Auckland Blues home and away finals played on back to back weekends and there's only a 5 point difference between the teams....or Stormers vs Harlequins at Newlands and Twickenham respectively or Leinster vs the Canes, Munster vs Fijian Drua, Los Pumas vs Wild Knights in Tokyo and Buenos Aires one weekend after another. One can only dream... Thoughts?

Good topic to discuss. And as I continue to research for my next book I am finding many thousands of athletes across all sports are doping. To say one is tested and they return a negative test and are therefore not doping is both naive and just silly to consider. Most who are cheating are aware of the micro dosing levels required to beat tests. One could say those who do test positive are the stupid ones. Also I am finding the actual testing protocols in many countries is lacking strict procedures and reassuring levels of competency. Doping is a HUGE issue in world sport, including rugby at ALL levels.

Ian Foster is the architect of this bs bunch of rule changes based on his continued vendetta against the Springboks “playing too slowly”. This is rugby union, not league! We watch rugby because of scrums, lineouts and a team’s skills. Dangerous play needs to be penalised, but “dark arts” scrummaging is what we love in the game. Leave the scrum alone! This new “free kick” law will be exploited by weaker teams until the powerhouse scrumming teams realise they don’t need big, bulky guys in the scrum anymore. Scrums will then be made up of fly half and wing sized bodies with no place for 230kg players anymore. Remember what the great Nigel Owens once said “this is not soccer, the soccer stadium is 200m down the road!”

People can say they dont get bothered but I have personally screwed with an entire teams head cuz they pissed me off and we scored more point in those 15 minutes than the other 45. So either block out their comments or be the one to screw in the mental game.
