EPISODE 14: EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW with Geoff Parkes

One of Australian rugby's best journalists going around, Geoff Parkes is a weekly contributor for the The Roar sports website and author of "A World in Conflict: The Global Battle for Rugby Supremacy", in which he details the complicated and at times controversial business of rugby union. 

We dig into Geoff's deep knowledge of the game, both on and off the field, discussing the key financial and structural hurdles that Australia has to leap over in order to keep up with the rest of the world, the player drain, the critical nature of broadcast deals, private equity moving into rugby markets and how he became an expert writer at the Rugby Roar website.

A meaty chat that digs into some of the more critical issues that affect the ever evolving climate of rugby in Australia.
