How To Build A Champion Rugby Team ft. Gainline Analytics. I was joined by Gainline Analytic's Simon Strachan to learn the lessons of champion sides such as Leinster & Toulouse. With the Champions Cup once again upon us, we investigate how the best teams in the world use their resources and build their own solutions.
We then look at how club structures around the world impact the performance of the national teams - is there an ideal number of clubs per country?
