With all the goings on in South African Rugby, I stumbled upon this story from the BBC. While South African Rugby bosses fight for who owes what to whom, it seems as if England is going about it the right way.
Let me explain.
Jake White wants some of his best players rested and other players put into sides for conditioning and match practice. The unions are not happy with this as they think that they will lose money because spectators won't go watch the games if their big stars aren't there. Trust me guys, it's not the stars that stops people from going to a game....
The unions in South Africa are, in effect, fighting against the greater good of rugby. Should the national side perform, then all rugby performs, simple? Obviously not.
Now in England, it seems as if the whole thing is different. I wanted to say that it was upside down, but that would be wrong. WE are up side down and they are the right way. The CLUBS are saying that they want to work with the Union to retain the Rugby World Cup.
Doesn't that sound fantastic? People striving towards a goal and everyone holding hands and pushing each other to get there in the fastest and best way? Power is not a good thing and SA Rugby is showing us that.
