Rugby has a problem. Well, it has lots of problems. From outdated, archaic governance (cc: the Welsh Rugby Union – only narrowly averting a player strike during the Six Nations and battling an ongoing homophobia, racism, sexism and misogyny scandal) to an over-filled playing calendar and hundreds-strong concussion lawsuits from former players suffering the horrible after-effects of not being protected when playing the game they love.
But the problem that this weekend highlighted most was the way that rugby’s laws are set up too often leads to games being ruined.
