This week, something a little different. Veteran journalist and rugby communications guru Matt McILraith gives us the lowdown on the Japan Rugby League One and so much more. The Kiwi who was Wallabies media manager in the Robbie Deans era discusses the impact of the league, at a time clubs elsewhere are feeling the pinch. McILraith talks up the South Africans playing and coaching in Japan and shares his distinct views on the structure for the Rugby World Cup and the Springbok v All Blacks rivalry.
