00:00 I've always said you need the game to be more continuous. I think the average ball in play is 30 seconds, the average break in play is 70 seconds. So you encourage a power contest. I think we need more continuous play.
00:17 I think our use of the TMO in rugby is fraught with danger. We're asking a referee in the grandstand to make decisions on a different angle on the game through video. I think it's not making the game a better spectacle. I don't think it's making a better game for the players.
00:38 We're lucky because international rugby is so popular. You look at it, Lille last night, 50,000 there to watch France play Uruguay. We play a practice game against France, there's 80,000 people there.
00:53 International rugby is so popular we could almost put anything on the field and people are still going to come because of the nationalism and the patriotism of the teams. But I think we need to improve the game. I think we really need to improve the game. I think at the end of this World Cup there will be an opportunity to do that.
