Keith Wood's State of the Union | Rugby in trouble - with guest Stuart Barnes

During the current postponement of on-field rugby action, Keith Wood's State of the Union is a new series looking at where the global game is going. This week, he's joined by Ger Gilroy, former-England international and journalist Stuart Barnes, and Giles Morgan, former-head of sponsorship at HSBC. Let us know what you think - is rugby in trouble? Can the game be 'more-global' or should World Rugby focus on consolidating the game's presence in traditional markets? Would an British and Irish league work?
