I don’t think Rugby could be accused of excellent governance. They are better than soccer but who isn’t?So it appears that football continues to thrive despite terrible governance and a lack of moral scruples while Rugby despite excellent governance is or will be going through difficult times.
Football is at risk from the concussion issue also. If rugby has to go so far as being fully non contact, expect other sports to follow.The IRFU and other Unions must be hugely worried at the class actions being taken here and in the UK and indeed Worldwide relating to head injuries and concussions not only could this involve huge costs for the Rugby bodies involved but the publicity could deter parents from enrolling kids in Rugby teams and any change in the rules necessitated by Court decisions could mean that Rugby would no longer be a full contact sport.
Adult football today isn't far behind rugby in terms of concussions.Dementia in football seems to be increasingly linked to heading a ball which in the case of older players was linked to the heavier laced ball which in wet conditions simply doubled in weight.
