I wish they'd stop tinkering. Their idea of what makes the game entertaining is obviously not the same as mine.

I think the thing to remember is that what makes the game exciting for fans that'll watch comps outside of the world cup, and watch games involving neutrals is quite probably different to the casual fan and fans outside of the traditional rugby playing nations. And also consider that most club based competitions are struggling for significant fan engagement and thus funding - outside of Japan, some URC games and France, the professional game is struggling to grow.
