I watched the Bristol v Harlequins semi last season - difficult to top that in entertainment terms!
In that game the Quins back three exploited the space in the S half BUT also denied Bristol another 2/3 tries in the first. Quick ball and explosive running defeated power and bulk. Cut the subs and slim the players down and the 15 a side game is excellent...

Which is a missed opportunity.
Although that should IMO have been done using 10s. However I understand whilst 10s is only 10min each way. 12s is 15 each way. World Rugby should look at both and try to build on one or the other. Could 12s work as a longer match, 20 or more mins each way? Or the 15 minutes might be effective, when allowing for stoppages, waiting for a dead ball could add 5 minutes each way. Across Europe, could use international teams as per Rugby Europe 7s series, or maybe nations like Germany, Netherlands, Belgium could bring two sides into a tournament?

This isn't a proposal to help the development of the game in anyway it is just a desperate attempt to create a new rugby format that they can take ownership of and flog broadcasting rights to netflix or amazon etc. I would be embarrassed to associate my name with it or Ian Ritchie.

Would prefer a push to market 10s.
Recall it suggested 10s has the speed of 7s, with a few more pieces of the full game. Some European nations Germany a prime example seem to be doing well at 7s, but not able to get stability at XV. From my limited knowledge of 10s n a TV show some years ago, was to build on skills. During Tokyo 2020 the IOC President was at the 7s. It is a format he thinks is good for the Olympics. However he seems keen to see Rugby in more countries, and maybe in those nations 7s and 10s offer more than the slower pace of 15s. |

The national unions need to behave exactly as UEFA did towards their proposed rebel league. Kill it off early by threatening players with bans from national selection.

No thought for player welfare . . it might be a fun game, I played vets 10's and loved it but we have two great games . . 7's and 15's . . .strangely if you reduce the number of replacements in RU, 5 for injuries only, the game will become more open and less attritional . . so more fans! JUST Market the game better!

People like Ian Ritchie have already done enough damage through sheer greed and should be chased harder than ever from the game.
Capitalism is slowly but surely killing everything off on the planet and it’s attitude towards sport is right up there with everything else

Agree completely Bin Licker - just fiddle with the format to come up with something that makes money so we can plough it all back into the National teams and top Leagues. Couldn't give a monkeys for anything below the elite

Rugby league crossed with 7s. Beware the thin end of the wedge!
Cannot summons up the interest to even read the small detail. Already too much mediocre, meaningless rugby over playing the players without this dross. The downward spiral continues. |

More interesting to see who is paying for Steve Hansen's support.

Go to eleven, allow infinite substitutions, perhaps permit one forward pass per play.

Ad a player and we almost have rugby league?
I wonder if it is less to bridge 7s - 15s gap and more towards creating a clearer cross over pathway between the codes

We are all for player welfare, unless we can make money. All the unions are broke, so while this should be squashed, it will be welcomed with open arms. We already have 7s, 10s, do we need 12s. |

Looking forward to see what comes of this.
IMO 7s is a class game that needs it own governing body, not seen as much 10s, 12s could be interesting - believe 15s has got way too comfortable in its ways, and perhaps this is the sort of coporate event it needs to get it's act together, can see so much potential with this in the 7s game. I wish the 12s event all the best.
