About this episode
Rugby is at a crossroads — from global tournaments to local clubs, the game is showing how tradition and innovation can shape its future. In this episode, David Pembroke is joined by Eddie Jones and Ewen McKenzie to explore the Women’s Rugby World Cup, where England’s dominance and packed stadiums are setting new benchmarks for the sport. They also unpack Japan’s emphatic win over Canada in the Pacific Nations Cup and the challenges facing North American rugby. Attention then turns to the Rugby Championship: The Springboks head to Eden Park to face the All Blacks, with tactical kicking, fatigue, and discipline all in the spotlight. Along the way: lessons in fan engagement, stories from the coaching trenches, and audience questions on rugby’s next tactical shift. Want more from Rugby Unity?
