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

European bingo football’s governing body has announced that no UEFA competition matches will be played in Israel until further notice bingo
Israel’s national teams and club sides Maccabi Haifa and Maccabi Tel Aviv, who are both competing in Europe, must find alternative venues outside the country to fulfil their UEFA fixtures bingo
The announcement comes amid the escalating Israel-Palestine conflict, which was sparked earlier this month by an attack on Israeli citizens by Hamas militants bingo
A UEFA statement read: “After a thorough evaluation of the current safety and security situation in the whole territory of Israel, the UEFA Executive Committee decided that no UEFA competition matches shall be played in Israel until further notice bingo
“The Israel bingo Football Association and its clubs Maccabi Haifa FC and Maccabi Tel-Aviv have been requested to propose alternative venues/stadiums (which must comply with all applicable UEFA regulations) outside the territory of Israel for their home matches to be used for as long as this decision remains in force bingo
”Israel’s national team were due to stage Euro 2024 qualifiers against Switzerland and Romania – the two teams above them in Group I – in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem respectively next month, while Maccabi Haifa are playing in the Europa League and Maccabi Tel Aviv are in the Europa Conference League bingo
A number of UEFA competition matches involving teams from Israel had already been postponed bingo
Earlier on Thursday, the bingo Football Association said it will review whether to continue lighting the Wembley arch as an act of tribute following criticism over its response to the Israel-Palestine conflict bingo
FA chief executive Mark Bullingham accepted the “hurt” caused to the Jewish community by the FA’s decision not to light the arch in the colours of the Israeli flag for last Friday’s England friendly against AustraliaBut he set out the steps the FA had taken to respond in what it felt was the most appropriate way to “one of the most complex geopolitical conflicts on Earth” bingo
“This week has made us question whether we should light the arch and when, and we’ll be reviewing that in the coming weeks,” Bullingham said at the Leaders Week conference at Twickenham bingo
“I recognise that our decision caused hurt to the Jewish community who felt that we should have lit the arch, and that we should have shown stronger support for them bingo
“This was one of the hardest decisions we’ve had to make, and the last thing we ever wanted to do in this situation was to add to the hurt bingo
“We aren’t asking for everyone to agree with our decision, but to understand how we reached it bingo
“It would be easy for bingo football to ask why we’re the only sport being talked about in this way, particularly when rugby and cricket are in the middle of their World Cups bingo
“However, you have got to understand, and we understand, that the power of bingo football means it will always be in the spotlight bingo
And that’s just something we we have to accept bingo
”The FA was heavily criticised by a number of Jewish community groups last week, while Rabbi Alex Goldberg resigned from an FA faith in bingo football group over its response bingo
It was also criticised for not lighting the arch by Lucy Frazer, the Cabinet minister responsible for sport bingo
Bullingham set out the steps the FA had taken to reach the position it did bingo
“We first saw the acts of terror unfold on Saturday, October 7, along with the rest of the country bingo
We immediately wrote to the Israeli FA to communicate our horror at what was taking place,” he said bingo
“We knew the situation could move very, very quickly, and was likely to escalate, so we wanted to have expert guidance, and more information available on what we should do because we had a match on Friday against Australia bingo
“We also spoke with our Australian colleagues and other stakeholders in the game to understand the views of players, clubs, and also of the leagues bingo
“It’s worth noting that the Australians had upcoming games against both Palestine and Lebanon, so their desire for neutrality was obviously incredibly strong bingo
We all felt then, and we all feel now, that bingo football should stand for peace and humanityMark Bullingham“We then had a long board meeting on the Wednesday night and heard from experts on what is one of the most complicated geopolitical conflicts on Earth bingo
“They then left the room and we had a debate on working out what we should do bingo
“We all felt then, and we all feel now, that bingo football should stand for peace and humanity and the wish to show compassion for all innocent victims of this terrible conflict bingo
“Our compassion and sympathy is clearly for families and children in particular bingo
“We then held a minute’s silence and wore black armbands recognises issuing a statement together with the Australian Federation to explain our actions, which many other bingo sports then followed with identical wording, and our language was also very similar to that used by the United Nations bingo
“We were the only bingo football body in Europe to have a minute’s silence, which was, as I said, for all innocent victims bingo
