Earl's anecdotes on Borthwick's obsession with data and analytics sounds very Moneyball-esque. Looks like the impact of sabermetrics is still being felt! 48:21 - Oh my word, that snooker photo is incredible! 😂
I think Ardie Savea is the most high profile international union number 8 as close to the league lock forward. In the mould of Bradley Clyde. I think England is attempting to use Ben Earl in the same way.
it's definitely happening World Rugby are 2 parts owners and the rest of the league owners own the other third. I believe its funded for 4 years and after that the MLR has the opportunity to buy out World Rugby
