I hazard to guess that we're not the intended audience.

Ryan has likened RugbyX to Twenty20 cricket. Those who love test cricket (or 15-a-side rugby) will still have a sport but an abbreviated more razzmatazz version could attract new fans who may move on to the more complicated game.

In the context of RugbyX, the more complicated game is Sevens.

ha, hit post too early!

There are no posts.

Or 15s is 50 over, 7s T20 and rugbyx is the new 100 ball thing.

Yeah, there's no form of rugby anywhere near as boring as a 5-day test! :P

I know you aren't alone in thinking that; possibly in the majority. But I love cricket and enjoy test matches. However, I also enjoy 50 and 20 over cricket. Don't see the point of the 100 ball thing, but I've never seen it (has it been played yet?).

I only enjoy rugby 15s though. 7s is ok, if you're bored or drunk but I don't go to it anymore and hardly ever watch it on TV. Xs sounds even worse to me.

I think the difference between the long and shorter forms of rugby are more significant than in cricket.

You clearly didn’t watch Sale’s 7-all “thriller” with Bath 😬

Nor our 6-3 demolition of ... Bath

I am obliged at this moment to mention Quins 6 Bath 6.

Confirms everything I'd thought about you from your posts.....

I'm intrigued...
