Maro Itoje Prioritizes England Rugby Amid Breakaway League Proposals

Itoje reaffirms his commitment to England as plans for a new global rugby league emerge.

Maro Itoje, a key figure in English rugby, emphasizes that playing for England remains his top priority despite the potential formation of a breakaway league.
The proposed league, inspired by formats like the IPL and Formula One, aims to feature eight franchises and attract top players with lucrative contracts.
The Rugby Football Union (RFU) maintains its policy of selecting only England-based players, posing a potential conflict for those who join the new league.
Itoje, who recently renewed his contract with Saracens, was unaware of the league discussions until they surfaced in the media.
England faces Japan in their final match of the Autumn Nations Series, with Itoje eager to contribute and help the team end on a positive note.
