OT: Rugby X

So this is what Ben Ryan has been up to:

I like it. Makes complete sense. I've always thought that the
reason rugby will never be anywhere near as popular as football
is the fact that it's so easy to pick up a football and play a
competitive but fun version of the sport in the park with some
mates. Not so easily done with rugby. Not saying this will
narrow that gap massively but it's the kind of innovation I love
to see.

That article gave me absolutely no idea at all about what rugby
x involves. Beyond it being 5 a side, are there scrums?
Lineouts? Rucks, mauls, can you kick the ball, pass forwards...
Etc...?

Sounds like the rubbish they tried at the BaBas game it was
terrible, it was let’s forget rugby play in half the size pitch
and just run a lot

I think they could be onto something with this to increase kids’
participation.
The beauty of football is the simplicity and rugby really
struggles against that I think.
Whether this is the answer or not remains to be seen: but in my
view the challenge is making the game more accessible, less
technical, less reliant on grunt/power, and more easy to have
mixed participation.
It would be nice to see more kids at the park just rocking up
with a rugby ball and flinging it about - something I rarely see
- and I do spend quite a lot of time in parks with my toddler.
It will all help the game - and I guess anything to encourage
more participation in any activity I see as a good thing...

OUCH! That's one hell of a lot for a ticket to an event that's
not got any real history behind it to drive up sales.
