    @Machpants I don't usually read anything in RugbyPass but thought I'd give it a look.

    I stopped once they said

    The game itself is barely recognisable now, even from the first World Cup of the professional era back in 1995

    🙄

    Why?

    The first professional RWC was 1999?

          Yes, but even the article references:

          On the eve of the final it had been announced that the three traditional powerhouses of southern hemisphere rugby, Australia, New Zealand and RWC 1995 hosts, South Africa had agreed a US$550 million deal with Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp.

          And despite the shamateur goings-on, it couldn't really be considered the RWC that was professional.

            Doesn't invalidate the discussion around the game changing over time, that sort of shit is irrelevant to that.

                Correct me if I'm wrong, but a good deal of Eddie's reputation is immediate success, followed by inevitable decline. So if correct, then the question is if this "smash and grab" for the RWC isn't on track, what confidence that he'll improve the team for a Lions tour, let alone still be on the payroll?

                                  @Kiwiwomble I reckon Eddie would be one of those types you either get on with or think he is an absolute fluffybunny and not much in between.

                                          i get and your right....its just its the RWC so i think it would have to be unbelievably bad for someone to not be able to tolerate it for a couple of months more

                                          I've just witness Mrs Womble get bullied atrociously for the last couple of years by her boss....but she kept going back as she couldnt find another job and we have a mortgage
