Rebel World Cup planned for Pakistan

[Coparugby]

The Italian ambassador to Pakistan refers to it at this rebel Italy v Pakistan match in Pakistan

 

[siv]

This will be fun

Whos playing ?

 

[Coparugby]

Pakistan and Italy as a start. Probably Greece too as they are part of the rebel crowd. Would not surprise me if they wrangled up a dozen nations with TV coverage, sponsors etc.

Will probably also get government involvement and/or support.

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

I know this is a problem for the RLIF, but the thing that still annoys me most watching that video is that they keep saying "Rugby". "Do you play Rugby ... Do you watch Rugby ... I love Rugby".

They make it sound like the Rugby League is a subsidiary of World Rugby (and the name doesnt help, it fits right in. Rugby 7s, Womens Rugby, Rugby League; it fits the format).

World Rugby League is clearly a ploy by World Rugby to make RL appear to be a subsidiary sport of the World Rugby body; can we at least make this bullshit difficult for the?!?!? Its like RL people enjoy being f*cked over....

They will also show sport accord government recognition, sponsors and 1000s of people in stadiums. Looked like well over 1000 at the Italy v Pakistan match with plenty of sponsors. The Pakistan government even gave it a mention. The Italian ambassador says it’s his country’s national team.

If they run a World Cup it will be disastrous for RLIF recognition.

I certainly blame these assholes at the WRL shelf company. But I also blame the RLIF for allowing this vacuum to exist in the first place. But we need to meet this threat full force.

Divide and conquer.

It should all be about sports, but no we have to have all the political garbage thrown in just for a spoil, can't just play the game, that would be too easy. Too many deceptive-corrupt-over ambitious types involved, the sort of people that should be kept as far away from any sort of influence as can possibly be.

This is just weird. The sad thing is it will suck in genuinely passionate fans and people on the ground in these countries who will ultimately be shafted and lost forever.

Does someone want ot chase up team sheets for these two teams and work out where th eplayers have come from?

On the SportsFever360 Facebook page they have a number of articles and videos of the event.

On Twitter

That tweet clearly using #Rugby to muddy the waters. This is dodgy as and I'm genuinely shocked by what is going on here and the seemingly wide reach World Rugby seem to have

A media article about the match

https://www.dawn.com/news/1371354

”Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, who was the chief guest, described the occasion as an effort to revive international sporting events in the country. She credited the government for bringing peace and covincing the international teams to play in Pakistan.”

 

[Coparugby]

“SportsFever360 will not only help Pakistan Rugby League in organizing their events and marketing them but will also work hand in hand with PRL and its team to promote and take the sports to masses of Pakistan with extensive local and international plans for 2018–2020 inside and outside Pakistan.

Sportsfever360 & PRL will be initiating some exciting leagues and events in Pakistan to boost rugby’s profile as a sport in Pakistan.”

[RL The greatest game]

No doubt in my mind that union is behind this and probably will bankroll it

 

[deal.with.it]

RLIF has trademarked the name and rules to rugby league.

Just threaten legal action if pakistan don't come under RLIF. Italy needs to f**k right off

So a quick look on social media shows that the Pakistan Sports Board is supporting all of this, along with UAE company Sportsfever360, World Rugby League, Ikram Butt etc.
Really need to sort this shit out.

I would suggest everyone go on the Sporsfever360 facebook page and ask some questions.

UAE company? Why am I not surprised....

Same for Pakistan Sports Board etc. esp if they have mentioned it. They may genuinely have no idea about the sport and governing body issues. Be very polite and informative though.
