World Rugby Nations Championship back on the agenda
All eyes turn to Dublin today where World Rugby’s proposed “Nations Championship” is back firmly on the agenda.
The proposed format, which has evolved since its initial inception, would involve a top division of 10-12 teams from both hemispheres play each other once per calendar year (via the Six Nations, Rugby Championship or during the summer and autumn test windows), with the top two teams meeting in an end-of-year showpiece finale.
There still remain a number of issues to resolve, including the inclusion Pacific Island countries, the concept of promotion/relegation, player welfare concerns and the very real possibility that the new competition would undermine the Rugby World Cup.
Personally I’m not a fan of the idea but, call me an old cynic, I suspect much of the moral and principled opposition to the idea will – despite opposition from leading players – simply melt away in the face of a proposed financial package on offer from World Rugby worth in the region of £5 billion.
After all, money talks.
