This weeks special guest is Chair of World Rugby- Dr Brett Robinson. The Play On Pod keep it sharp, fun, and match official focused (as usual). They cover it all with Brett- from life in the top job to the future of refereeing, TMO consistency, and law changes shaping the game. There’s chat around the rise of match officials as personalities (Hollie Davidson), the growth of the women’s game, and what’s next after the success of recent World Cups. Also tackling the messy rugby calendar, innovations across comps, and what the game could look like heading into RWC 2029 in Australia. Big ideas, real insights, and a curveball question that involves a magic lamp ?! #PlayOnPod @Rob_McKay @play_on_pod @robgmckay YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@Play_On_Podcast Instagram: https://instagram.com/p/C6UhhugS3rS Hosted on Acast.
