There’s been a lot of chatter in rugby union and rugby league circles lately about a new competition called R360. Multi-million dollar offers have been put to a selection of star players across the world to lure them over, and there’s been a strong reaction from both codes who want to block that from happening. So in this Squiz Shortcut, we’ll take a look at what the new competition is, how it would work, and what the reaction to it has been.
Squiz Recommends:
Reading: This explainer by ESPN all about the new competition and how it’d potentially work…
Reading: This piece by author, columnist, and former Wallaby Peter FitzSimons (paywall) in the Sydney Morning Herald which looks at whether existing codes have the right to stop their players from looking sideways at a new competition. It’s behind a paywall, but worth a read if you’ve got a Herald or an Age subscription.
