  • Can 7 Aside Rugby Improve Australian Rugby?
    Can 7 aside Rugby Improve Australian Rugby? Since the 1990s Australia's rugby teams have had a relatively high success rate, with the Wallabies ranking in the top 3 international teams regularly and our Super Rugby Franchises winning 3 Super Rugby Championships (equal to South Africa). The successes of the Wallabies and their Australian Rugby franchises could easily lead someone to believing that rugby in Australia is one of the most popular sports and has a high level of player participation. However, things aren’t, as they seem. Rugby in Australia is located in, arguably the most competitive organized sport market in the world. Rugby Union was ranked only the 9th highest participated organized sport in Australia in 2012 (according to the ABS (2012a) Survey of Children's Participation in Culture and Leisure Activities, Australia, 2012 (CPCLA) (cat. no. 4901.0), with only 4% of children playing the sport, well behind Soccer at 21.7%, Australian Football League (AFL) at 14.9% and Rugby League on 7.5%. In fact Australia has as little as 86,952 players participating in the game, while America has grown to 81,678 participants (according to The Economic Impact Report On Global Rugby: Strategic and Emerging Market report). Compare that to England 2,549,196 and South Africa (632,184), Australia ranks well behind it’s international competitors in player participation. Which shows that despite the participation numbers Australia has punched well above its weight. When looking towards the future can Rugby sustain its position in this very competitive organized sport market? I believe that Australian Rugby is at a cross road in which it has a choice of continuing on the same road it is travelling on or to look for ways to reinvent itself and increase the player participation rate, especially in the juniors.
