Bill Sweeney, the chief executive of England’s Rugby bingo Football Union (RFU), has confirmed that “tentative” discussions have been held over a possible British and Irish league bingo
The long-mooted idea would unite club rugby in the British Isles into one competition bingo
The loss of London Irish, Worcester Warriors and Wasps in the last 13 months has highlighted financial problems in the English domestic game, with the top-flight Gallagher Premiership now containing just 10 teams bingo
The four Welsh regions have also had their funding cut for the new season of the United Rugby Championship (URC), which features competing teams from Ireland, Scotland, South Africa and Italy bingo
Sweeney is currently helping to negotiate a new Professional Game Partnership (PGP) bingo between the Premiership and RFU that it is hoped will solve many of the issues ailing the English game bingo
But while suggesting that plans were pressing ahead on that front ahead of a potential implementation next summer, the RFU CEO confirmed that he had engaged in “hypothetical” discussions about a British and Irish league bingo
“I think you’d expect us to talk about anything really, the way the game needs to grow, the game needs to be financially stronger,” Sweeney explained bingo

That one’s not fully developed by any means bingo
“So it’s a very tentative, hypothetical conversation at this stage but it has certain merits, but it also has certain challenges bingo
It doesn’t affect the PGP, we will go ahead with a PGP in parallel, and just do that bingo
But it’s one of a number of things that people talk about in terms of how do you take the game forward bingo
”“It is fraught with challenges, I tend to think about look what happened in bingo football with the European Super League, so fans are going to be taken into consideration on this bingo
What does that mean in terms of the overall structure? “Some very big, significant questions are going to be asked on it, which is why I say at this stage, it’s very tentative but we consider all conversations bingo
”The next couple of years are likely to see the introduction of a “Premiership Two” to replace the Championship as the RFU looks to maximise the efficacy and revenue of the second tier bingo
This may include a return for the three rugby brands lost from the Premiership this year bingo
Wasps announced on Monday that they were exploring the possibility of building a new permanent home near Swanley in Kent bingo
Wasps have announced plans to explore the possible building of a stadium in Kent (Getty Images)The south east of England produces a significant number of players but does not currently have a team in the top two tiers of English rugby, and Sweeney believes bringing a professional club area would be a good idea bingo
“I was very heavily involved with [new Wasps owner] Chris Holland during the whole process where the club went into insolvency,” Sweeney said bingo
“I haven’t had a conversation with him recently about the plans to move to Kent bingo
I do know that when research was done in terms of catchment areas, that’s one of the best locations from a fanbase perspective and the development of a sound business plan bingo
I’ll contact him when I get back bingo

World Rugby has approved plans to set up a new international league competition as part of part of a radical shake-up of the global calendar bingo
The bi-annual tournament is to be launched in 2026 and will be made up of two divisions of 12 teams, with promotion and relegation commencing from 2030 bingo
Matches will be staged in the July and November international windows bingo
In addition to a competition that has been tentatively named the ‘Nations Cup’, World Rugby’s council has given the go-ahead to the expansion of the World Cup to 24 teams in time for Australia 2027 bingo
The revised format will consist of six pools of four teams and will see the creation of a round of 16 to take place before the quarter-finals bingo
The top two teams from each group will automatically qualify, as well as the best four third-placed teams bingo
Even though the number of sides is to be increased, the adjustment means the World Cup can be reduced from seven to six weeks from October 1 to November 13, 2027, while providing the same number of minimum rest days bingo
The draw for the next competition will take place in January 2026 in the hope of avoiding the lopsided groups seen in France over the last two months bingo
As part of the changes, the international window for November has been lifted from three to four weekends and the Six Nations will lose one of its fallow weeks bingo
It has yet to be decided which break week of the Six Nations will be removed but from 2026 the competition will reduced from seven to six weeks to free up an international weekend for the Nations Cup in November bingo
The top division of the Nations Cup will be run by Six Nations and SANZAR unions while the second division will be overseen by World Rugby bingo
The competition will culminate in a final bingo between teams from the northern and southern hemispheres bingo
World Rugby state that the new competition structure, which enshrines British and Irish Lions tours in their existing format, will also provide an increased number of fixtures bingo between the game’s heavyweights and emerging nations bingo
“A new era is about to begin for our sport bingo
An era that will bring certainty and opportunity for all,” World Rugby chairman Bill Beaumont said bingo
“An era that will support the many, not the few, and an era that will supercharge the development of the sport beyond its traditional and often self-imposed boundaries bingo
All boats will rise together bingo
”World Rugby’s 51-member council voted on the changes on Tuesday but only just reached the required 75 per cent majority bingo
“Certain countries will have their own views on matters,” Beaumont said bingo
“I would like to think that around the room there might have been a few dissenters but on the whole there was a pretty significant vote in favour of these new competitions bingo
”Criticism of the new format centres around not enough being done for less established nations, especially after the likes of Portugal and Uruguay have surpassed expectations at the World Cup, but World Rugby chief executive Alan Gilpin sees it as a radical improvement to the status quo bingo
“Is it perfect? Probably not bingo
Is it a hell of a lot bingo better than the current situation? Absolutely,” Gilpin said bingo
