Rugby has never had it so good: Ross Tucker

To the Last Drop

Rugby, as vehicle for delivering a spectacle, is on as smooth a path as it has ever been professor Ross Tucker tells this week's edition of To The Last Drop. The renowned sports scientist who sits on a World Rugby committee tasked with player well-being, especially in relation to concussion, says players are now less likely to suffer catastrophic injury than ever before. This, he believes, has not come at the expense of the product despite the fact that the sport is played at breakneck speed.
Hosts Liam Del Carme and Brenden Nel also stare into the crystal ball and predict URC wins this weekend for three of South Africa's URC franchises. They are divided on the fourth.
