According to this French poster Rugby League in France died off after its golden era in the 1950s as they stopped being able to dip into the Union talent pool and got kicked off TV for too much violence. That and 5N meant Union had advantage of a better international game.

@DANIELNico47 @T2Rugby In 1971, the FFR proposed a protocol that forbade players from switching codes. League foolishly agreed, and the talent pool gradually dried up. The 1981 TV ban, because of violence and poor behavior on the pitch, was the final nail in the coffin.

Italy look v good. Physical. Good scrum. Hard over ball. World class players in the team. @RassieRugby was right. Of course he was.

@JiffyRugby unless the budgets can be increased there cannot be 4 sides as can’t keep the status quo. unless it’s tired with 2 regions getting less and let them fund themselves. realistically salary budget has to be circa £10m each per year to keep players and have one top quality foriegn

Wales need to keep 4 regions whatever happens to bring the younger players through. If current WRU intend to improve the path way where will these players play. Look at ways to improve the regions not cut them. Everyone work together. There will be a few tough years but If we don’t get this right we could well end up in tier 2 for a long time.

@stephenjones9 Did you watch him(Woodward) as a pundit, he was a dinosaur not a clue about modern rugby. 2003 was a long time ago.

Message for Dave Reddin and hopeless bungers of the WRU. Dave, you are not qualified to revive professional rugby in Wales, nor are your colleagues - all from outside rugby. In your heart, you know you should call Sir Clive, he he once helped you to the top of your class thetimes.com/sport/rugby-un…

@AndyGoode10 He is the greatest ! Just enjoy when he makes a decision to change strategy during a game if it’s 10m or 30min he’ll take any player off the pitch. Nearly all coaches would wait until 10mins after half time. Took Sia off very early and guess what, it works !

@SquidgeRugby the real worry was when he said he asked clive Woodward for advice. Clive probably couldn’t name the welsh regions given that he clueless about international rugby on ITV

Dave Reddin just compared Welsh rugby now to English football right before Southgate took over. Passion but not great results. Imagine if, back then, you cut a quarter of the Premier League teams to make the England side better. Even if it worked, would that passion remain?

Would be shocked if this ends up any different to most of the other rugby players on NFL's International Player Pathway (ie nothing but practice squads). However he stays in an athletic environment and only 22 so maybe can return as a rugby player later.x.com/kyrossports/st…

Zim 7s Capped, TJ Maguranyanga, is Heading to the Capital 🤩 The Washington Commanders, who are enjoying a resurgence under new ownership and star QB Jayden Daniels, have snapped up the rangy winger from the International Pathway Program. TJ will compete for a roster spot as a Defensive End. Makorokoto TJ and all the best

For the referee to give a yellow card, then a red card… after the scrum was his fault seems very harsh. @ChampionsCup

Wonder how many of the ‘This isn’t right and I won’t be calling it that’ brigade are the same blokes who love telling people ‘rugby’s on its knees cos it’s got no money’ down the pub. I reckon 33-56%.
England Rugby@EnglandRugby

England Rugby and @allianzuknews have agreed a long-term partnership, which will see significant investment into the game at all levels with the home of England Rugby, Twickenham becoming Allianz Stadium from September.

@1968Tv Though only 7 at the time remember this game as its era of the ‘Man Utd Hooligans’ so west brom was closed down and shops boarded up. Giles was so classy about 2 steps ahead of everyone and a glorius pass

@friebos Doesn’t feel like a real race just something put together to get road cycling in the olympics. With such some small teams there’ll be little tactics. But expect Stuyven and Benoot to be at the front to stop the breakaways

Excited for men’s Olympic road race but 272km with 89 riders (20 of whom only Conti level) & max teams of four does feel about as close to ‘normal’ elite RRs as canoe slalom to coastal rowing* *he says like he’s ever watched a coastal rowing race/regatta/tournament in his life

@thepaulwilliams I’d disagree, it’s not a gateway but just a different type of rugby like league is, ie 4 different types of rugby: union, league, 7s and touch. Someone new to rugby would not link 7s to say #savIre recent tests

Ardent '15 a siders' may not like it. But 7s is a far more user friendly version of the sport. It's the 'gateway' rugby. And a hugely valuable tool to generate new audiences.
