Restructuring Europe

It's a near constant discussion in the newspapers, on the TV, and down the pub. Does the European system really work? Just recently we've had a few big names from the English Premiership saying that the current system is unfairly skewed to the Irish sides when it comes to winning Europe. In addition, the endless debate about player welfare brings the number of games players play into scrutiny.

With all that in mind, I'm putting forth my proposal for a brand new European system, read on below.

The Champions Cup still draws criticism for how unfair it is to certain nations. Maybe we should just get rid of it.

Scrums Scrums Scrums

Last week I mentioned how people shouldn't be "trying to fix the game". So this week I'm going to be a hypocrite and talk about how I would fix the game. Although crucially I'm going to do so by not fundamentally throwing the sport itself under the bus, instead I'm going to discuss how I think the decade long problem with scrums can be sorted out, by not changing any laws at all.

Everyone loves a good scrum right? Totally not boring spectacles that 90% of the time end in a penalty.
