'You can't have a World League and not include the Pacific Islands'
By Rugby Pod
The Rugby Pod spoke this week about the proposed plans to introduce a World League into the sport, potentially overhauling the entire layout of the game that we know.
The concept has drawn criticism from many of the top players in World Rugby.
International Rugby Players President Jonathan Sexton said: “While players gave this idea a cautious welcome when we met at the end of last year, it now seems like a commercial deal on the future of the game is being negotiated at a rapid pace with little consideration given to the important points we raised with World Rugby in November.
Andy Goode and Jim Hamilton spoke at great length about the proposed plans, focusing on how this would affect the Pacific Islands.

Hoping Riley Higgins kicks on. Proctor must be 13 moving forward.
Go to commentsRassie should be "miles ahead" of Razor, he's been involved with the Boks as full-time Director of Rugby since 2017. And the Boks should be ahead of the current ABs, they have kept all of their superstars.
Clearly, we are rebuilding from the floor up. But the one place that the Boks are not "miles ahead" is on the paddock. A brand new, relatively untested coaching team, with a new team still in the making, came close in Sth Africa.
Change takes time. Whatever this magic instant innovation potion is you allude to, it doesn't exist. Just ask Rassie. It's taken the Boks years to develop. I've no doubt Razor will get us there.
