Did WR just deleted Nigel Owens' video on RSA vs Aus?

And post on social media. The whistleblowers thingie.
Who on earth is running this thing?

I mean, at this point you would guess that any community manager knows these sort of things can, and generally do, backfire spectacularly.

This, in 2025, is either disingenuous or very, very naive.

World Rugby marketing is putrid.

My take: The message (whistleblowers) is not only good, it is excellent. It shows transparency, brings clarity to the table and it is a didactic way to educate fans. It also provides an aura of accountability, which is incredibly rare in sports. The story telling is quite good too. Nigel is a decent speaker and, naturally, knows what he is talking about. The problem, the ENTIRE problem was about how the story was presented. If you tag the video with a "WHERE THE WALLABIES ROBBED?????", well, that could understandably lead to some controversy.
Their PR/Marketing team should have known better. Most 12 year olds already do.
