Welcome to the IRL

[miguel de cervantes]

What I love about the name is that it is subtly taking back our share of the ownership of the term Rugby. It is very subtle but read the name 'International RUGBY League' out loud with the emphasis on the word Rugby as you would read it if you were someone that didn't know there were two codes of Rugby. It changes the meaning altogether.

this is exactly what I thought. it's about the only positive I can see in the change, but if that was the aim then I think it will suceed. it also possibly counteracts any plans by World Rugby to name their planned international league with that name.
