I love the articles, but you’re missing that rugby union has had a salary cap for several years in the uk and France, using a similar model to US systems but missing the draft element which I think would add real value. Imagine the hype of the lowest ranked pro tour team getting first pick of the top stagaire talent. Rugby in the uk has had several salary cap breaches, reductions through covid and operated at a similar salary budget to top cycling teams.
Thanks for pointing this out - we will note this in a future edition
