About this episode
As the red card debate drags on, Rugby Unity asks a bigger question: what will it take for rugby to modernise? This week, co-hosts Eddie Jones and David Pembroke take aim at the key takeaways from the latest World Rugby meeting—red card reform delays, a new US broadcast deal, and bold talk about putting fans first. But are the right changes actually being made? They call out rugby’s outdated media culture, lack of transparency, and failure to engage fans the way other sports do. Plus, they explore how South America is quietly becoming a rugby force—and what that means for the global game. The duo then answers your questions on Sevens in the UK, merging union and league, life lessons from rugby, and how Stephen Larkham is evolving as a coach.
