Rugby Pass: Nathan Hines’ radical idea to lighten the load on his Top 14 players

Slightly out of sync, this interview with Montpellier coach Nathan Hines for Rugby Pass – which I wrote before the Six Nations kicked off…

In it, he discusses how a World Cup affects club rugby, his idea to improve player welfare in the Top 14, and Montpellier’s domestic and European season.

With their Champions Cup hopes long gone, Montpellier’s energies are focused on the Top 14. However, they will still put pride on the line against European rivals Connacht this Sunday.
