The Shape of the Game Review, England’s DNA + Super Rugby Roundup

World Rugby says the game’s in a “strong position”, but Eddie Jones and Ewen McKenzie see the exact opposite. If the Shape of the Game was meant to be a turning point, why does it feel like nothing changed? David Pembroke pulls apart the official statement from the London meeting, with Eddie calling it a governance joke and Ewen questioning why key on-field issues keep getting dodged. The conversation hits TMOs, red cards, scrummaging, and the need for more 15-on-15 time, then pivots to Ireland vs England and what England do next, plus Super Rugby talking points like Brumbies vs Blues, Fijian Drua vs Hurricanes, and what the kicking numbers tell us. There’s also Germany’s rugby broadcast update, Rugby Europe blowouts, and a straight-shooting discussion about why transparency and faster decisions matter.
