Podcast: The Short Ball - s03e23 - Super Rugby Returns

And does a clown routine at parties.

That would be the business.

He's currently 20+ years into a coaching career. Prior to Oz, his track record was in taking capable teams to the next nevel.

It's already impressive where he's currently brought the wallabies to, considering the abusive relationship they had been in with ‘fast Eddie’.

None of it screams a lack of dynamism.

Broadcast revenue for NH Club Competitions per game:

Top14 = 750k per game

URC = 630k per game

EP = 461k per game

Combined SR & Test matches for both NZ & Aus = 154k per game

Before you criticize the Kings & Cheetahs just remember that by just adding the Kings SANZAAR increased the broadcast for SR deal by almost 20%. Since SA left, SR are forced to bundle up the rights with all the test matches NZ & Aus play because broadcasters refuse to pay for it as a stand-alone competition. SA Rugby probably laughing all the way to the bank receiving money from SR without playing in it 😂🤣😂

At tighthead there’s Opoku-Fordjour, Fasogbon, & Sela. Plus Heyes is relatively young for a prop so could continue improving.

At loosehead Rodd, Baxter, & Iyogun could also all get better, while Genge is already world class.

At hooker Tuipulotu is going to be massive in a few years, although there could be depth issues.

At second row, bear in mind that Martin, Chessum, & Itoje are all unavailabe atm. England need a 4th option, but those 3 aren’t bad.
