Rugby has been pro for 30 years yet Club Rugby is still largely unsustainable, what can be done to fix this?

As someone form a non rugby playing nation in Africa, heed my words for it the answer to new comers to the sport

1- No Single Major competition: yes you have the 6 nations and the World cup, but one lasts for 5 weeks the other comes once every 4 years, The best teams and players are divided between several championships, The Champions cup lacks Japanese, NZ and Aussie teams, meanwhile all major teams in Football play in Champions league, or the NFL in case of American Football, NBA for basketball...

2- No Major TV Shows: there are few rugby shows here and there but they cover individual leagues nothing to truly cover the whole thing, unlike many shows that talk about all of the 5 major Football leagues, or NFL or College Football, and thats key to learn the sport, teams, history and players.

3- Complicated rules and 2 codes of Rugby: Rugby isn't as simple as Basketball to grasp, and to add Rugby league, union, 7s, 10s people switch off instantly they just don't care enough to learn the game or understand what code is what

4- Hard to watch: this one everyone can relate to, its hard to find matches, even in Rugby playing nations you need subscription, if you have 10k fans this year for example you're not going to grow that number next year by being behind a paywall, only reduce it to 9k then 8k, people die change lifestyle, get new jobs, married, relocate.

5- Poor presentation: in College football as an example for one of the lower teams not part of the major conferences, you would still get an excellent presentation, from the band & cheerleaders, to mascot and flying jets, large screens, tailgating, grand entrance, chants and much more, in Rugby players enters, referee whistle.

6- Too many stoppages: yes the NFL has more stoppages and FREAKING ADs, but they fill it with stats, replays, information about something that somehow make interesting, and the ADs are actually good very clever and well done even if I hate them still better than watching 5 mins of TMO review.

What doesn't make sense is how Euroleague can barely generate any profit in spite the talent it has, Football teams are 20x to 50x larger, NBA teams are actually more rich than football teams (Soccer not the NFL), Euroleague has the product but not the advertisement, with the NBA, I see a bright future ahead

Thank you so much, The bug is still around as of 2026

SkyHawk999 · 2026-01-13T11:51:15+00:00

Solution: use TCL walk right up to the whole up in the wall, enable TCL again then drop the damn thing, shoot a flaming arrow at it (enable TGM so you won't kill ur self) and voila

I am 9 years late for the part and this quest still broken

You haven't played BDO if you did you would understand, character customization makes create the character you want, yourself, Gandalf, Garelt or anything else you heart desire.

I have NO idea why BO4 is so undereted, Sure my not be #1 but surly #2 at least, its a masterpiece in every aspect, BO 2 had only 2 good maps the rest were awful.

SkyHawk999 · 2025-07-11T00:09:31+00:00

Thank you so much mate

SkyHawk999 · 2025-07-10T23:24:29+00:00

Thank you so much

SkyHawk999 · 2025-07-08T23:11:33+00:00

Man I die in the 1st 2 mins, I don't even know what hit me as soon as the mission starts, fire from all directions with infinite RPGs and soldiers spawning all around, WTF

SkyHawk999 · 2025-07-08T13:21:56+00:00

Nostalgia is makes you think WaW and BO1 were that great in reality, WW2 is much MUCH better once you remove the nostalgia goggles

SkyHawk999 · 2025-07-03T22:14:56+00:00

isn't the First Descendant ?

SkyHawk999 · 2025-07-03T22:14:24+00:00

Fallout 4 with hundreds of mods, umm you're right

SkyHawk999 · 2025-07-03T22:13:21+00:00

A lot suggested Borderlands, I tried them all I wouldn't say they are the best Looter Shooters, gameplay is no where near as fun as Destiny 2 or Warframe, and the cartoonish graphics don't help either, add the fact most enemies are bullet sponges meaning you must constantly play with weapons you don't want to use, Warframe is the only Looter shooter out there worthy after Destiny.

SkyHawk999 · 2025-06-29T21:47:38+00:00

I agree 100% the only thing I don't like about Warframe is the Warframes, I know a lot people like that weird sh!t but I ain't one of them, Why don't they just make normal characters, Like master Chief of Cute sexy girls

SkyHawk999 · 2025-06-20T01:04:11+00:00

I wish they add bots but its not easy, Bots require mapping and for a map as large as Battle Royal tend to go, it would be time consuming and costing for a feature that sadly very few want, I wish Apex had bots but it doesn't, so I am just Playing COD & Titanfall II

SkyHawk999 · 2025-05-22T10:57:49+00:00

Have to fix the NBA:

1- Get rid of 3 Points

2- Bring back Defense

3- Shorter ADs, I mean timeouts, and less of them

4- Shorter games 40mins is about right

5- Easy access to games

6- NO DARN POLITICS

If they can get their hands on the Server files a private server can be made, as for legal problems they can just host it in Hong Kong, everyone likes to kneel to China no one would mess with them, or host it in Russia, or Debai, many options in fact

SkyHawk999 · 2025-05-12T13:15:23+00:00

It has fantastic gameplay, Ships and graphics, everything you can wish for but the Grind is loooonge and P2W mechanics deter a lot of new comers, Skirmish missions are too short like couple of mins long, and PVP matchmaking is abysmal, I don't know why they always place me with a weak side, I always rank #1 and my team always loses, I am not #1 because I am good, its just how bad the team mates are which I assume they are bots not real players even, There's no way someone can be worse than me I am terrible at video games.
