Mike Brown, the former England full-back, announced his retirement from rugby at 39, after a career spanning 20 years and 72 caps. With a significant history at various clubs, notably Harlequins, he won multiple titles including two Premierships. In his farewell address, he urged rugby leaders to focus on long-term decisions for the sport's success and asked all voices in rugby to help promote its positive aspects, such as thrilling plays and talented athletes, to inspire future generations and grow the fanbase.
Club owners, league executives, national and international governing body senior leadership, my hope is that you come together, think beyond the short term, and make the bold, unselfish decisions needed to allow rugby to thrive once again.
Media figures, pundits, former players, commentators, I urge you to continue helping shift the negative narrative around rugby. Let's talk more about the brilliant action, the big hits, the electric tries, the unbelievable skill.
