Rob Bonnet speaks to former rugby union England international Rob Andrew, who spent ten years as a top administrator at the Rugby Football Union.

Rugby union has never been so popular. The World Cup is touted as the third biggest sporting event in the world. Player salaries get ever larger and the game expands into new territories from Georgia to China. And yet former England international Rob Andrew says the sport could be brought to its knees if ongoing tensions between the game's major stakeholders turn sour. Last year he ended 10 years as a top administrator at the Rugby Football Union. Extra Time's Rob Bonnet asks Rob Andrew what his game plan is for securing rugby's future.
