Ireland have just taken a significant step up the World Rugby rankings

Not sure if that’s the way things are changing, the coaches, the players/squad but it doesn’t feel like we have seen the fireworks of the past.

It’s hard to see how Bath, Sarries or Leicester can afford him and wing is not a position that either Sale or Northampton need to strengthen per se, so it leaves you with the obvious candidates.

Still feel Top 14 is the likely destination over the Premiership but we’ll see.

I get that it's their chosen business model which means their content is free to read but it's still disingenuous.

In reality though, he is only saying that & will be using whichever Club he signs for to bide his time until he is off to the Rubbish360 lark.

Not really mate, there are some good players from the other nations who are allowed to be selected over Irish players. It's the BIL not IL.

Disruption is scarey, and wary folk would rather stick to what’s failing and hope a preferred “safer” answer come along.

T20 was hated and villifed. It now funds all cricket globally.

Catamarans were frowned upon yet underpin that industry's multi billion $ racing.

MMA fighting is abhorrent and yet boxing is struggling to keep up now.

R360 has a lot wrong but some good intentions. How it ends up will probably look nothing like it plans to. But it will throw up new ideas and alternative solutions. Every Oz and NZ SR is broken, we can keep it alive with band aids but bigger ideas are needed. I believe these will trickle down from global disruption. I don't think we can fix it ourselves
