What World Rugby Can Learn From The Fifa World Cup!

Why is World Rugby so afraid to learn from football? 🇿🇦⚽️
We’ve just witnessed a FIFA World Cup extravaganza that shattered records and captured the globe. Meanwhile, the powers that be in rugby seem determined to keep our sport a closed "old boys" shop. From an embarrassing World Cup draw that pits the world’s best against each other way too early to failing to capitalize on massive growth markets like the USA, it feels like an own goal after an own goal.
Is World Rugby actually trying to grow the game, or just protecting the establishment?
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how football does it differently ... and why rugby is stuck in the past. We’re talking massive viewership numbers, better distribution of wealth, and why our upcoming 2031 World Cup in the States is a make-or-break moment for the sport.
