Episode 31: Rugby’s Big Shake-Up, From Bollywood to French Revolutions to Franchise Models

We’re into the business end of the season, but is rugby itself on the verge of its biggest transformation yet? Jim and Goodey dig into the new Premiership franchise model being floated! We chat about fan culture, flares, and whether rugby needs a football-style edge in the stands. We also chat about the runs for both the Prem and URC as teams are chasing the final knockout spots. Plus, we’re joined by Indian rugby president, Bollywood star, and former international Rahul Bose to talk about the launch of the Rugby Premier League in India, what it means for the sport there, and why the Bollywood blueprint could be rugby’s best play.

Plus, listener questions, Lions selection debates, and lots more!
