• RFU frustrated by ‘ideas we have not been party to’
The Rugby Football Union is “perplexed” at moves from World Rugby’s vice-chairman, Agustín Pichot, to drastically reform the international calendar by introducing a World League from 2020 onwards.
Pichot’s proposal – which would see the world’s top 12 teams compete in an annual tournament rotated between hemispheres every November – is set to be discussed as the World Rugby council meets in Sydney throughout this week.
