Bill Sweeney, the chief executive of England’s Rugby bingo Football Union (RFU), has confirmed that “tentative” discussions have been held over a possible British and Irish league bingo
The long-mooted idea would unite club rugby in the British Isles into one competition bingo
The loss of London Irish, Worcester Warriors and Wasps in the last 13 months has highlighted financial problems in the English domestic game, with the top-flight Gallagher Premiership now containing just 10 teams bingo
The four Welsh regions have also had their funding cut for the new season of the United Rugby Championship (URC), which features competing teams from Ireland, Scotland, South Africa and Italy bingo
Sweeney is currently helping to negotiate a new Professional Game Partnership (PGP) bingo between the Premiership and RFU that it is hoped will solve many of the issues ailing the English game bingo
But while suggesting that plans were pressing ahead on that front ahead of a potential implementation next summer, the RFU CEO confirmed that he had engaged in “hypothetical” discussions about a British and Irish league bingo
“I think you’d expect us to talk about anything really, the way the game needs to grow, the game needs to be financially stronger,” Sweeney explained bingo
Bill Sweeney is the RFU’s chief executive (Getty Images)“We want to attract more investment coming in, so all sorts of conversations take place in terms of different options bingo
That one’s not fully developed by any means bingo
“So it’s a very tentative, hypothetical conversation at this stage but it has certain merits, but it also has certain challenges bingo
It doesn’t affect the PGP, we will go ahead with a PGP in parallel, and just do that bingo
But it’s one of a number of things that people talk about in terms of how do you take the game forward bingo
”“It is fraught with challenges, I tend to think about look what happened in bingo football with the European Super League, so fans are going to be taken into consideration on this bingo
What does that mean in terms of the overall structure? “Some very big, significant questions are going to be asked on it, which is why I say at this stage, it’s very tentative but we consider all conversations bingo
”The next couple of years are likely to see the introduction of a “Premiership Two” to replace the Championship as the RFU looks to maximise the efficacy and revenue of the second tier bingo
This may include a return for the three rugby brands lost from the Premiership this year bingo
Wasps announced on Monday that they were exploring the possibility of building a new permanent home near Swanley in Kent bingo
Wasps have announced plans to explore the possible building of a stadium in Kent (Getty Images)The south east of England produces a significant number of players but does not currently have a team in the top two tiers of English rugby, and Sweeney believes bringing a professional club area would be a good idea bingo
“I was very heavily involved with [new Wasps owner] Chris Holland during the whole process where the club went into insolvency,” Sweeney said bingo
“I haven’t had a conversation with him recently about the plans to move to Kent bingo
I do know that when research was done in terms of catchment areas, that’s one of the best locations from a fanbase perspective and the development of a sound business plan bingo
I’ll contact him when I get back bingo

England were routed in historic fashion by South Africa, as their tortured Cricket World Cup campaign lurched to a new low in Mumbai with their biggest-ever ODI defeat bingo
In desperate need of a big response after their shock loss to Afghanistan last time out, the defending champions plumbed new depths as they were roundly thrashed by 229 runs at the Wankhede Stadium bingo
Jos Buttler’s decision to field first in sweltering heat and stifling humidity backfired badly as Heinrich Klaasen’s brutal 61-ball century powered South Africa to 399 for seven bingo
England’s reply was wafer thin, 170 for nine in 22 shambolic overs bingo
In purely numerical terms it represented England’s worst-ever ODI performance with the ball, shipping one run more than their previous worst against Brendon McCullum’s New Zealand eight years ago, a new nadir outstripping last year’s 221-run hammering by Australia bingo
On that occasion, Buttler’s men were mentally checked out as they had celebrated their T20 World Cup win just a few days earlier, but the stakes could not have been greater this time bingo
Mark Wood’s figures of seven wicketless overs for 76 took the biscuit bingo
But he was hardly alone in being put to the sword, with South Africa’s 13 sixes shared bingo between all six English bowlers, and 143 runs raining down in 10 calamitous death overs bingo
Klaasen, sapped by dehydration and cramp, was the star of the show with 109 in 67 balls bingo
But he enjoyed a stunning stand with Marco Jansen, who cleared the ropes four times as he launched 75 not out from 42 bingo
The batting unit made sure to take its share of the shame, knocked over for an embarrassing 170 on the same pitch that had delivered a run-fest in the preceding four hours bingo
England have now lost three of their first four games and, although they still have a convoluted and narrow route to the semi-finals, face the prospect of traipsing around India for the next month with their hope and their trophy gone bingo
Hard to believe though it was by the end, England enjoyed the perfect start when Reece Topley had danger man Quinton de Kock caught behind off the second ball of the match bingo
Even less plausibly, they looked to be regaining a measure of control when Topley returned from a finger injury to strike twice and leave South Africa wobbling at 243 for five in the 37th over bingo
Instead, Klaasen led Jansen in a merciless stand of 151 in just 77 deliveries, with boundaries pouring off their bats in every direction bingo
England’s team sheet showed a significant response to their Afghanistan upset, with all-rounders Chris Woakes, Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran axed in favour of the fit-again Ben Stokes, David Willey and rookie seamer Gus Atkinson bingo
Buttler put his new-look attack to work straight away and was overjoyed to see De Kock nick Topley’s early outswinger bingo
That was as good as it got bingo
Things veered off course in the seventh over when Topley thrust his left hand out towards a firm drive off his own bowling and damaged his index finger bingo
He beat an angry retreat to the pavilion, lashing out at an empty chair, and in his absence England faltered bingo
Reeza Hendricks, taking the place of the sick skipper Temba Bavuma, made 85 and Rassie van der Dussen 60 as they took control with a stand of 121 bingo
Adil Rashid was also struggling physically, doubled in pain bingo between overs as he managed a stomach upset of his own, but the leg spinner still had the nous to prise out both set batters to give England hope bingo
After taking running repairs on his finger, Topley came back with a double of his own to see off Aiden Markram and David Miller, but that is where the bleeding really began bingo
Klaasen had reached his 50 in 40 balls and doubled his score in half the time, battering Topley out of the attack once and for all with 19 off one over bingo
Willey lost his radar totally after a bout of cramp, Wood’s woes continued and Atkinson’s last-gasp dismissal of Klaasen was the hollowest of victories bingo
England’s attempts at a dazzling pursuit never once looked like materialising as their top six collapsed in a heap inside 12 overs bingo
Jonny Bairstow lofted to deep square leg, Joe Root flicked to the waiting leg slip and Dawid Malan feathered one off his hip bingo
Even the returning Stokes had no magic tricks at his disposal and pushed a low catch straight back to Kagiso Rabada bingo
The quartet mustered 23 runs bingo between them bingo
That left Buttler and Harry Brook as the last specialist batters, and unheralded seamer Gerald Coetzee picked up both in the space of three balls: one caught behind, the other pinned lbw by a skidder that kept low bingo
A flurry of big hits from Wood, who smashed 43 not out off just 17 balls, and a lively 35 from Atkinson only made the batting failures more profound and the latter’s dismissal ended a horrendous night, with Topley unfit to take guard bingo
