7 d. ago The Breakdown | Could new Nations Championship transform Test rugby? The jury is out

There is logic to the fresh international format, due to launch next year, but glaring issues and logistical challenges tooOK, let’s just pick the ball up and run with it for a little while. A reimagined global Test landscape pitching the northern hemisphere against the south commencing next July. Twelve men’s national sides playing six games each with a final playoff weekend. Concluding with one champion team hoisting a shiny trophy aloft in front of, hopefully, a worldwide television audience of millions.On paper – and years of scribbling on the backs of envelopes have gone into this – there is some logic to it. Instead of seemingly random Tests scattered like distant dots on someone else’s map there is at least a discernible framework. Every game will, in theory, resonate. And, by virtue of pooling everybody’s TV rights, there are hopes of a collective commercial and promotional upside that can benefit the whole sport. Continue reading...

1 week ago ‘It’s not in our genes to give up’: Veljko Paunovic on coaching Serbia and how England changed him

The head coach heads to Wembley with a tough battle to qualify for the World Cup on his hands as he recalls his career pathVeljko Paunovic’s right hand moves in a wide, smooth arc: up, around and down. “This tends to happen to me a lot,” he says, eyes following his finger as it traces a curve. It is his first day as Serbia’s coach and he is waiting for his players to arrive, entrusted with an “urgent mission” that brings him back again, all the way to when he was a boy. “I tend to close circles, and this could be another.
