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? Hosted on Acast.
