Editors Intro
Issue 2
Welcome to issue 2 of the Rugby Social daily newsletter.
As you'd imagine the news coverage this week has been dominated by the ongoing dispute between Wales and the WRU over strike action. i've collected a nice little amount of articles for your reading pleasure this morning over a cup of tea or coffee.
As this is a really new series i'd love to get your thoughts on specifically:
- Structure
- What other content you'd want to see
- Schedule (Does daily work for you or would twice a week be preferred?)
