The Rugby Paper

Supporters should petition for change

- Charlie Isherwood

AFTER watching Dan Leo’s film Oceans Apart, I was left absolutely disgusted by World Rugby’s actions and ineptitude in general.

I appreciate WR chairman Bill Beaumont has said a review into a restructur­ing will take place, but as per most things in WR’s archaic and outdated infrastruc­ture, words are seldom followed by actions.

What will it take to level up the system and help these fantastic countries who are struggling? As a supporter I want to see some of our favourite teams from the past be able to compete again at the top level where they have previously shaken the world of rugby.

Supporters should sign a petition to WR to impact change much like we do to government on change.org as this is fundamenta­lly wrong on every level and 100 per cent against rugby’s values.
