@taniwharugby i thought Golf was flying these days?

@mariner4life It is - thanks to Tiger. Which is why people want in on the action.

Crikey, I hate judging on looks, but Brett Gosper has never come across as more than a used car salesman (someone said something similar before). If you look carefully, he's slightly shiny. Even light doesn't want to touch him.
I just struggle to understand what private equity firms are going to do to world rugby that is positive. Professionalism was (overall) positive, because a number of teams were effectively there anyway. But private equity ...maybe the crahs needs to happen soon so that this idea goes away

if this virus gets serious in Europe you can expect a worldwide recession anyway, so this will all go away

@nzzp short term, probably be great, big cash injection, then as they want to maximise profits, the rugby landscape would change considerably and likely end up all but unrecognisable.
Really though, what would a dollop of cash do? The issues with rugby are not money related... Falling revenues are a symptom not a cause

I like this part, but I doubt they'd pull the pin:
."We have put him on notice that we expect change," Impey said. "He's made the right noises, but he's now got to deliver. "If he doesn't deliver that, a whole new debate, and [it] will certainly test the relevance of World Rugby if nothing happens.
