Big picture on Aussie Rugby.
Last 20 years, a slow decline in quality and fan base. Rugby still dwells in the pit of the school tie. Small gene pool. Who relates to the word ’franchise’. A footy team is a club.
In Australia, NRL and AFL codes are better to watch. Fast and attacking. Who wants to watch referees blowing up scrums, repacking. A penalty at every set piece. Boring. Yes there are the purists who love the technical stuff. They’re in the minority and would be back to Uni ruggers on the ABC Saturdays with Gordon Bray.
Australian Rugby is too far gone to ever get back to win at international level.
Technically too difficult to attract Aussie youngsters and parents.
No kids. No game.
