Rugby X/DC

I was having a quick look at the Ba Bas site and noticed that
Danny Care is coaching their team for the forthcoming Rugby X.

There have been a few signs recently, but it's clear that he is
thinking about getting into coaching in the future.

Really? I'd have thought he'd be more likely to go into media
rather than coaching. Has he been doing any coaching with lower
league clubs? That's the usual way that players get their
experience in coaching...

Surely media is only a part time job for pundits?

Looking at that the 7's players in that squad , Im sure DC will
learn plenty about unloading in the tackle , they probably don't
need too much coaching , but its a great opportunity for Lynagh
and Anyanwu to work with those guys .
This is Ben Ryans pet project isn't it , it will be interesting
to see if it catches on . Could well be the thing for impromptu
'park' / 'beach' rugby .

These days, I doubt it. Pretty sure the likes of Ugo don't
really need to do anything else to earn a living given how much
media work they get - although I know a lot of them support
charities etc too.
I too had the feeling that Danny was heading down the punditry
route. I suppose it depends how hands-on you want to be within
the game once you retire. I still feel like he'll end up taking
the TV/radio route post-retirement. The Rugby X gig is a bit of
fun really. How much coaching does a Baa Baas X team really
need?!

Yep, agree with this. I'm not aware of Danny coaching at the
local clubs as others do. He does the BBC Rugby Podcast now
though, and has been doing highlights for ITV too, so suspect
that's a more likely route.
Coaching this team for the first Rugby X tournament should be as
much of a scoail as serious coaching.
Not sure I'm sold on Rugby X really. I know Ben Ryan has been
preaching about its benefits, understandably. I don't really see
the need for it when we already have 7s, which I would have
thought is pretty accessible.

TBQ - I just can't see it. Lynagh, Greenwood and Guscott all
have day jobs, and those are just the ones I know about.

I guess it comes down to who you are "Punditing" for. Also,
someone like Care, would have/is earning a pretty hefty chunk of
cash from his playing career compared to some of the others
mentioned, might not need more than one gig.

They, for me, are summarisers whereas the likes of Flatman, Ugo,
Bayfield, etc are presenters. The latter group would seem to do
so pretty much full time - be it TV shows, podcasts, awards,
dinners or whatever.
