Overview
- The British & Irish Lions said any player who joins the proposed R360 league will be ineligible for selection for the inaugural 2027 women’s tour.
- The announcement addresses the women’s tour only and does not reference the men’s tour scheduled for 2029.
- England, Ireland and Scotland are among unions that have warned players they would forfeit national-team selection if they sign with R360.
- Rugby league’s NRL has stated that players who sign with R360 would face a 10-year ban from its competitions.
- R360 has not received World Rugby approval and has yet to announce teams, players or venues, while women’s players are viewed as more susceptible to offers due to lower pay.
