    Rassie+ The Shape of the Game Ep. 1: The World Rugby Charter Explained

    In Episode 1 of A Rassie+ Special: The Shape of the Game, Springbok head coach Rassie Erasmus sits down with his coaching team to unpack one of the most important — and misunderstood — documents in rugby: the World Rugby Charter. As proposed law changes spark global debate, this episode explores what truly defines rugby union: contest, fairness, safety, and a game for all shapes and sizes. From aerial contests and scrums to refereeing pressure and player welfare, the discussion asks a critical question — are we protecting rugby’s identity, or slowly eroding it?This is not about telling fans what to think. It’s about informing the rugby public, sparking healthy debate, and understanding how the laws should serve the game — not redefine it. 🎙️ Episode 1 of a 3-part Rassie+ A Shape of The Game series. #Rugby #RugbyUnion #WorldRugby #RugbyLaws #RugbyCharter #SpiritOfTheGame #RassieErasmus #Springboks #BokRugby #RugbyAnalysis #RugbyDebate #TheShapeOfTheGame #RugbySafety #RugbyFuture #RassiePlus #Smashboards #SmashSports
