Former England winger Jonny May emphasises that significant adjustments are necessary for the Rugby Football Union’s proposed hybrid contract concept to become viable.

Despite being unveiled last year, the contracts remain far from being adequately resolved with coaches growing frustrated.
“I think it is quite a mess. There are new contracts which need sorting, there are players who have been out of contract,” he told The Good, The Bad and The Rugby podcast.
“Is there a hybrid contract? Is there not? If there is a hybrid contract, how many players are there on the hybrid contract?
“There’s talk of the RFU doing their S&C and medical (as part of the terms of the hybrid contract), but how do you enforce that? Clubs pay them, so I don’t see how that works.
“How much are they going to be paid? When is it going to start? It’s pretty grey and it seems like there’s a lot to work out.”
He added: “There are players who maybe would have liked to have made a decision this season as to whether they stayed in England or not, and knowing if they were on a contract or not would
have been useful to help shape their decision,
“There’s a lot to work out, so I can’t see it being ready any time soon.
“I can’t see how a hybrid deal works because I don’t see how it’s possible for the RFU to say they’re doing medical and S&C at your clubs when they’re on a hybrid contract.
“For instance, let’s say Gengey’s touring New Zealand in the summer, he bangs his shoulder and he’s got a final against Northampton at Twickenham.
“The RFU come in and say, ‘we don’t want Gengey playing in that final’. Well, the club are going to play him in that final. I don’t see how you work through these issues.
“It’s a good job I’m not sorting it out because I don’t know how to sort it out.”
England’s Jonny May isn’t just fast; he’s a force to be reckoned with. Clocking in at an impressive 10.71 seconds over 100 meters, May’s lightning speed has made him a formidable presence on
the pitch. With an ever-growing prowess in finishing, May’s name often finds itself at the forefront of Eddie Jones’ team selections.
Cheslin Kolbe’s speed is the stuff of legend. A product of South Africa’s rugby system, Kolbe blazed through school with a staggering 10.70-second 100-meter time. Today, he’s even faster,
making him a nightmare for opposition defences.
