Rebels without a cause
Manage episode 431569426 series 3589754
It’s no secret that rugby in Australia isn’t in great shape. But things just got worse for the game with the axing of the Melbourne Rebels. The club are no more, and won’t be competing in Super Rugby next season. Executives say they’re still committed to growing the sport in Victoria but the loss of the Rebels points to even bigger issues for rugby in Australia. So, with a home World Cup on the horizon in 2027, can the game bounce back?
