Senior rugby figures believe rebel R360 league all but dead after unions’ statement

The proposed R360 rugby league is facing significant challenges after the world's leading unions collectively stated that players participating in the rebel competition would be ineligible for their national teams. Senior rugby figures believe the venture is now all but dead unless it can find a way to appease the top nations. The R360 league, fronted by former England player Mike Tindall, is yet to be sanctioned by World Rugby. The unions' strong stance has created a widespread view that the R360 organizers will struggle to attract top players if they are required to forfeit their international futures. The article suggests that the R360 concept now faces an uphill battle to get off the ground due to the unions' decisive action.
