Indian Rugby Development manager Greg Davey also agreed with Khanna, saying, "the game should be properly marketed on TV like other sports and be given prime time coverage if one wants to promote it."



"We want better tuning from government's side. They are paying for all the overseas tour, but in the end they say it's your sports, you better take care of it. The mindset needs to be changed," he said.

"Rugby is most watched and popular team sports in the world. We need to change the sporting culture here to make sports popular. We have to make people understand the game. We have to generate peoples' interest in the sport," he added.
