Rugby union’s proposed R360 breakaway league has deferred its application for sanctioning by World Rugby until at least next June in a setback for plans to launch next year.

An application for official approval that was due to be discussed by the World Rugby Council on 23 September has been withdrawn, raising questions over whether the rebel league will be able to launch next September.


Under World Rugby regulations all cross-border competitions must apply to the governing body for sanctioning and satisfy legal requirements regarding player welfare, medical provision, respecting the existing calendar, particularly contractually agreed international windows, as well as providing reassurances over anti-doping compliance.

Not gonna happen.
Sounds like the process to get it up and running is as slow as the actual sport.

The only place I can find any information about this competition is when it's mentioned in regards to the NRL

Michael Chammas seems to be the appointed spokesperson for the union flogs.

By the way, just change the name from Dally Ms to the Anasta led Roosters show

No one watches or supports LIV golf and their players are on $100m plus contracts. Tv rights and attendance mean little

I don’t begrudge Lomax. $1.5m USD is ridiculous money. He goes there for 3 years and earns more than a decade in league, plus no tax if he “bases” himself in the UAE or Bermuda etc.

Could be drafted by Tokyo, Milan or LA and not even have to live or train there.

it’s a ridiculously concept, I have no idea how it makes the owners $$$ but just like LIV golf it will make players rich.

we have roster spots available and plenty of cash already however so this BS about being able to go for Pezet if Lomax leaves is ridiculous, if we wanted Pezet and Pezet wanted to be an eel he’d already be signed

Not while semis / grand final is on. Pezet will sign with someone in a couple of weeks

Our problem is not cap money it's the fact we have 28 of our top 30 signed for next year unless hands and matterson move on , we appear snookered as far as external signings go at present, pou can we move a top 30 to development list ?

Btw how much better is nrl 360 without anasta , he comes across as someone who likes to throw bombs and see what controversy he can create
Braith has a chip on his shoulder just like he was as a player.

An insufferable prick and there was a reason he was ranked the most over rated player in the game for 4 or 5 years in a row most fans couldn't stand the smug prick.

Ill throw in the Fox producers love him for that reason. Is that he is out there and one of the reasons he is now the main host of a lot of shows and probably 2nd highest paid behind Matty Johns.

Ill say this at least they got him off the commentary.

His commentary on Fox back in the day was worse then Ennis.

Matto just seems to be that pesky mouse you've been chasing around the house for days without success....even the traps are no help.
