💨 Abstract

Reports suggest a new global rugby league, R360, is attracting top players, including several high-profile Springboks. Led by figures like Mike Tindall and backed by substantial private investment, the league aims to begin in September 2026, offering significant salaries to challenge established rugby structures. Around 160 players, potentially including veterans like Faf de Klerk and Willie le Roux, have reportedly signed pre-contracts.
