The Australian Rugby Problem and the Solution right in front of you
draftrugby.com
Australian Rugby has never had a tougher year. The average punter has never felt more disconnected from the fat cats in the ARU, and it seems that our idea's of how to make the game great again are worlds apart. On top of that, the team that can change our whole perception of the game, the Wallabies, have so far failed to fire. It seems like fans are turning their back on the professional game with record low attendance figures, and instead turning back to what started this great game, club rugby. The question then, is why have fans turned their backs on Super Rugby and the Wallabies? and how do we get them back? One obvious key component is the handling of the Western Force, but i'll leave that conversation for another time. Poor skills and handling, atrocious results against foreign teams, expensive tickets, scheduling of games across different time zones and a confusing Super Rugby format all seem to play a part. To all the disheartened fans I have great news. The NRC can, and will, bring back your passion! Running rugby with 88 of the most creative tries in the first two weeks of the competition, will have even your League loving "mate" admitting that running rugby is back. Weekly derbies between three NSW sides, two Queensland sides and three more strong sides from around the country make every match up exciting. Did i mention that 2017 see's the addition of the electric "Fijian Drua", a team of somewhat surprisingly organised, fit and ready Fijian rugby players that keep you on the edge of your seat for an entire match. Not to mention the Horan-Little shield that is up for grabs throughout the season, which mimic's the highly sort after Ranfurly shield from NZ's Mitre 10 Cup. https://youtu.be/1Nm7X-p0Yyw
