Eddie Hearn’s warning for rugby: ‘It’s so unambitious’

Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn, who has recently signed rugby players Henry Pollock and Finn Russell as clients, has given an exclusive interview to The Independent criticising rugby's lack of ambition. Hearn, known primarily for boxing promotion, is expanding into rugby talent representation and has shared his vision for how the sport could grow commercially. He describes rugby's current approach as 'so unambitious,' suggesting the sport is failing to maximise its potential.
