Could a cross-code Rugby merger save both Union & League?

Today on The Sports Agents, we’re delving into a little fantasy... to reunite Rugby League and Union - after more than a century apart - Is it time to bring rugby’s wall down? Unthinkable, maybe, but if you remove sentiment and tribalism from the equation, is there really enough space for both codes to survive? Warrington Wolves head coach Sam Burgess and the Daily Mail's Chris Foy join in to explore how would a merger actually work and is there a world in which the codes are stronger, together? Plus, following an historic night at Villa Park in their return to the Champions League, Gabby & Mark discuss Jhon Duran's rise as one of the 'stories of the season so far'.Executive Producer: Adonis PratsidesVideo Producer: Sam TrudgillSocial Media Editor: Calum ScotlandTom Hughes is Editor for The News Agents podcast networkVicky Etchells is the Commissioning Editor for Global You can listen to this episode on Alexa - just say "Alexa, ask Global Player to play The Sports Agents".And, the Sports Agents now have merch!
