Q&A: What is 'Team England Rugby' and why is it important?
By PA
Team England Rugby, run by and for England players, has brokered a new four-year elite player squad (EPS) agreement with the Rugby Football Union.
Here, the PA news agency takes a closer look at the key questions.
What is Team England Rugby?
TER was set up in January by England players who were concerned over the direction the game was going in.
It has taken on responsibility – and received recognition – to negotiate on behalf of the England men’s team with the Rugby Football Union after the team ended its relationship with the Rugby Players Association (RPA).
Senior England stars Ellis Genge, Jamie George, Maro Itoje, Joe Marler and Anthony Watson are on the TER board.
Why is this significant?
TER is believed to be the first such player-led organisation in the sport and gives players collective but direct influence over the issues that affect them the most – playing, rest and recovery time, pay and commercial considerations, and how their profiles can be best enhanced to help the growth of the wider game.
What has been agreed?
The deal covers new financial terms and provides scope for increased commercial opportunities for players, and also focuses on welfare. It introduces an exemption process to manage the load of England players getting close to the 30-game limit set under September’s Professional Game Partnership.
The agreement also includes the commissioning of a season-long research project, which once reviewed could feed into further changes within this deal.
What has been said?
Ellis Genge said: “As a group, we felt that there was an opportunity with the new agreement to look at the commercialisation of England players, both collectively and individually, and we wanted to be at the forefront of these changes.
“The RFU also recognised that enhancing players’ commercial potential is an area that has not yet been maximised across rugby union and we hope these new measures bring in new partners and new fans.”
What does this mean for the RPA?
The union still has the men’s international squad’s backing in supporting players across the English game. The RPA will continue to represent the England women’s team.

CRYPTO SCAM ARBITRATION SERVICE HIRE DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION
One fine Sunday, I decided to have a shoot. The weather was perfect, and everything seemed to align just right for an outdoor photoshoot. As I set up, I couldn’t help but think of a recent conversation I had with a photographer friend of mine, Dave. He’s one of the best in the industry, a true professional with years of experience and an impressive portfolio. He’s always striving to improve his work and provide the best for his clients. Unfortunately, he recently went through a situation that left him shaken, but it ultimately turned into a valuable lesson. I thought it would be worth sharing with you all.Dave, being such a big name in photography, was always searching for ways to elevate his craft. He wanted only the best, whether it was the latest gear, the top locations, or, in this case, the finest photo editing services available. One day, he came across an ad for a photo editing service that promised premium quality with a lifetime subscription at a one-time fee of $7,500 NZD. The offer seemed too good to pass up for someone like Dave, who only wanted the best for his photos. The website was sleek, the testimonials were glowing, and the pricing was positioned as a premium, lifetime solution. It appeared to be the perfect match for a photographer of his caliber, so he decided to invest without hesitation.At first, the service seemed to live up to its promises. The edits were decent, and the turnaround times were reasonable. Dave was satisfied at least initially. But over time, things started to go wrong. The quality of the edits began to decline, and the company’s responsiveness grew slower and less reliable. When Dave reached out for updates, the answers were vague and unhelpful. Soon, communication stopped altogether, and the edits were no longer up to the high standards Dave was used to.It became clear that Dave had been scammed. Despite paying for a lifetime subscription, he was left with subpar work and no way to get in touch with the company. He had lost a significant amount of money and, more importantly, the trust he had placed in a service he thought would be the best.That’s when a fellow photographer recommended DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION. Initially, Dave was skeptical, unsure if anyone could help him recover the money he had lost. But after reaching out, he quickly realized that DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION was different. The team worked tirelessly to track down the scammers and recover $7,000 of his original $7,500 payment. It was a huge relief for Dave and restored some of his faith in the process.Now, Dave shares his story with other photographers in the industry, especially those who, like him, want only the best for their work. He advises them to be cautious with their investments and to always do thorough research before committing to anything. He also highly recommends DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION, knowing firsthand how valuable their expertise can be when things go wrong.So, if you ever find yourself in a similar situation, remember that even the best can be caught off guard. But with the right support, like Dave experienced, you can turn things around and recover from what initially seems like an irreparable loss.
