Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Rugby Rant - Episode 220
Q: Will smaller numbers of games lead to less money going to players?
This is concerning as players may choose to take day jobs instead of pursuing a rugby career if salaries are insufficient across fewer games.
The Rugby Rant - Episode 220
Q: Is a 10 to 12 regular season game schedule enough?
Most agree that a minimum of 15 to 16 games is essential for player experience and development towards the World Cup.
The Rugby Rant - Episode 220
Q: Should the MLR consider Canadian players as foreign players?
There are valid points on both sides; some argue collaborative North American rugby should consider this while others point towards maintaining competitive quality within MLR.
The Rugby Rant - Episode 220
Q: Is lowering the foreign player limit better for the MLR? And is it better for the USA Eagles?
Some believe it will improve opportunities for the USA players while others worry it may decrease the quality of play due to fewer foreign players.
After the Whistle w/ Bryce Campbell
Q: What piece of advice would you give your younger self?
