The 71 split strategy in rugby shakes things up by putting seven forwards and just one back on the bench. This bold move, introduced by coach Rassie Erasmus, aims to boost a team’s strength late in the game but has sparked fierce discussions about fairness in the sport. Some love the way it changes the game, while others worry it might hurt the spirit of rugby and put too much pressure on the backs. As teams like France and Scotland weigh in, this tactic is pushing rugby into a debate about sticking to old ways versus trying new things. Will this strategy shape the future of rugby, or will it fade away? Only time will tell!
