Episode Are we living in rugby's good old days?
Rugby is experiencing a wave of positivity after the recent Six Nations. We saw a record number of tries scored in the competition as attacking rugby was on full display.
Does this mean we are living through a positive upswing in the state of the game as an entertainment product? Why are teams better at scoring now than in the best?
Given the sport cycles through negativity around kicking and entertainment value, are we living through the sport’s good old days?
Rugby analyst Sam Larner joins Nathan Johns to pick through the trends that explain why so many tries are being scored.
Produced by John Casey.
