October 26, 2022 Rugby's financial crisis, 'bullsh** values', and the urgent need to Grow The Game
'DOWN UNDER 4ED' campaign mentioned by Eoin at the top of the show:https://www.gofundme.com/f/down-under-4ed?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet
In a special episode, the Monday and Wednesday crews join forces to discuss the financial state of the game globally.
Eoin Toolan, Bernard Jackman and Murray Kinsella join Gavan Casey to break down the longstanding issues facing Premiership clubs, the Welsh regions' current struggles, the gold-standard French system, and whether Irish rugby is properly positioned to survive and advance past a precarious economic period in the sport.
The lads also discuss the health of the sport in the southern hemisphere, and why union has fallen so far behind league and AFL in Eoin's neck of the woods.
Plus: why has rugby not taken off more in recent years? Can we make it more appealing to a broader audience and, equally pertinently, to younger viewers?
