This week on DSPN, we hand the whiteboard to Tony Johnson and ask him to redesign rugby. Not all of it… just the parts that are driving us all a bit mad. Tony turns up with a Christmas wishlist of six ideas, from reducing TMO interference to rethinking scrums, kicking contests and the chaotic length of modern test matches.

We get into the balance between human error and over-officiating, whether box kicks have swung the pendulum too far, and why fatigue used to make footy better. Tony also floats a few “just hear me out” ideas that could speed the game up or open it up, depending on your point of view.

It’s all up for debate, and we want your thoughts. What would you change? What did Tony miss? And yes, Sweet Caroline cops a mention.
