Looks like GB will have to host it. Aussies won’t do it, New Zealand can’t afford it. Either us or nothing. Rugby Union will be p*sing their pants laughing.

Of course RU knows about RL fixtures , they’ve been swapping their international calendar around for years to clash with anything we’ve planned.

Its the fault of the French government asking those cities/towns hosting the games to cough up $200.000 euros before a ball is kicked .
It would have given the game over in France a much needed boost but sadly not to be .
NZ now looking at maybe throwing their hat in the ring for 2025 hosts .
