Players joining rebel league R360 would risk England futures

Players from England who participate in the potential new breakaway league for rugby union run the risk of losing out.

A revolutionary franchise league that aims to attract the game’s biggest stars is in development.

R360, or R360, is expected to launch in the following year, with sponsors from all other sports reported to be interested in participating.

The new league will not clash with international rugby, according to organizers, who also claim players will be able to play for their nations in international competitions like the Six Nations.

However, any Premiership player who leaves to compete in R360 runs the risk of stifling their international career.

There is no intention to change the terms of the PGP’s eight-year deal, which was announced in September 2024 to much fanfare, according to sources who spoke to the BBC. One leading administrator claimed that there is “zero chance” R360 will launch or attract the players needed.

However, plans for the rebel league are developing in an effort to alter the world order of rugby union.

The franchise competition would be held in some of the biggest cities in the world, with names like London, Paris, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Buenos Aires, and Cape Town included in the bid to attract the top 300 men’s and women’s players in the world.

With the inclusion of American superstar Ilona Maher on the promotional material, R360 has pledged to “unlock the potential of the women’s game.”

However, some senior industry figures believe the proposals lack substance and will struggle to obtain the necessary investment or approval from the governing bodies.

According to a source who spoke to the BBC, “It’s the world 12s again,” the game’s shorter format never materialized.

R360 intends to hold events in two blocks, April through June, and August through September, with overlap for both the southern hemisphere Rugby Championship and the women’s Six Nations, which would not conflict with the men’s Six Nations or the women’s Six Nations.

Mike Tindall, a former Bath captain and rugby director, and Stuart Hooper, a former World Cup winner, lead R360.

In the prospectus, Tindall claims that R360 is being introduced as a response to a “club game” that “failed to capture the same level of interest and investment as international rugby.”

The international game is putting pressure on clubs all over the world, Tindall continued.

Brooklyn Beckham savagely writes dad David out of history with cutting comment

After Brooklyn Beckham appeared to erase father David Beckham from history in a recent interview, hopes of an olive branch offering in the tense Beckham family feud have once more been dashed.

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz made their loyalty crystal clear in their most revealing interview since the alleged Beckham war broke out.

After a string of rows, the oldest Beckham child has reportedly distanced himself from his well-known family, and a shocking new comment suggests that he is now trying to remove his footballer father from his personal history.

Chef Brooklyn’s initial appearance to be giving dad David Beckham’s new hot sauce range, Cloud23, was reportedly a “warm nod” to their father-son relationship.

A member of Brooklyn’s team responded to a recent customer question on the official website by saying that the 23-piece design is a warm nod to his father, David Beckham, who wore the number 23 while playing for Real Madrid and the LA Galaxy in an effort to emulate NBA legend Michael Jordan.

Fans’ hopes for a peace offering will soon be shattered, however, Brooklyn himself gave a very different account when explaining the inspiration behind the branding.

Brooklyn asserted in an April interview with Glamour Germany that “The 23 represents our engagement date and my age back then.”

David, a legendary sportsman, is not mentioned anywhere on the official Cloud23 website.

Brooklyn, 26, showed off his tattoos in another interview, and he has many, just like his father. These elaborate body art tributes honor his parents and younger siblings in particular.

BROOKLYN IN THE GLAMOUR
Brooklyn’s tattoos are sweet tributes to his immediate family, but none of them are mentioned.

This includes the words “mamma’s boy” emblazoned across his chest while David’s birth year is 1975 inked on his thumb. His skin also bears the initials DVBRCH, which stands for David, Victoria, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper.

The conversation turned instead on the hot sauce owner’s dedications to wife Nicola and members of her family, not on these intimate body art. Some, like Nicola’s eyes on my neck or our wedding vows, are significant to me, Brooklyn told the publication.

Nicola, 30, continued, “I adore it when Brooklyn receives tattoos with a unique story in them. He also has the rosary of my mother tattooed on his hand.

Sally Baker, a recognized, award-winning senior therapist, responded to the ongoing rift rumors with her fascinating insight.

She explained to the Mirror how some couples “prove their allegiance to each other” by growing even closer in the face of family tensions.

Sally addressed the young couple’s perceived identity crisis by revealing that they are “forging their identity apart from their family of origin.” They are unable to accept the possibility that they may have acted badly or be in trouble. To take into account that as a couple, implies that.

As they carve their own path, offspring can appear obstinate and casually cruel as they go along with that, but that comes with experience and time. Thankfully, family bonds remain strong and lasting. Families are forgiving and patiently waiting for their adult child to rejoin the fold, with or without their partner. “

Man Utd set to open talks over Mbeumo deal

Bryan Mbeumo is expected to start negotiations with Manchester United at Brentford.

Ruben Amorim, the head coach of United, has made the summer his top priority by signing more striking players to bolster his misfiring attack.

With the signings of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee for big money, the Old Trafford side only managed four and three Premier League goals last season, which is the fifth-lowest total in the league.

Matheus Cunha, a Wolves forward, has already signed a deal with United and will join Old Trafford once his international commitments with Brazil are over.

After receiving indications that this summer would be his first choice, United are confident in making a move for Cameroon international Mbeumo, 25, who scored 20 goals for the Bees last season.

According to what it is understood, Mbeumo’s contract does not have a release clause and still has a year to go, with the option to extend it by another year.

He has been omitted from the squad for his country’s upcoming friendlies against Uganda and Equatorial Guinea, just like United goalkeeper Andre Onana, who is also in the squad.

Mbeumo, who left French club Troyes in 2019, is not a natural number nine, but he is viewed as versatile, dynamic, powerful, and quick, and Amorim wants flexible players.

Susanna Reid is best known for her sophisticated and feminine style – and one of her recent Good Morning Britain outfits is no exception. The 54-year-old wowed viewers this week when she stepped out in a stunning teal midi dress, and now shoppers can pick it up for under £30 in the sale.

The mum-of-three wore a lovely Teal Tie Waist Midi Dress from Principles , which is available at Debenhams. Originally £55, it’s currently down to £33 in the sale. However, fans can use the code EXTRA15 at the checkout, which takes the total down to £28.05.

The sophisticated dress is made of a “comfortable” woven material with a slight stretch, making it ideal for daytime wear. The flutter sleeves both add interest while concealing the upper arm area, and the tie-waist detail creates a defined silhouette.

The pleated crew neckline adds texture to the frock, and fashion lovers will no doubt delight in the fact it has practical side pockets, which make it an ideal choice for weddings as they’re great for stashing tissues, confetti or lipstick. The versatile midi length also makes it work-appropriate for the office, as well as any weekend events, too.

Coming in sizes 10-20, it’s not the most size inclusive piece, but FatFace has this Remi Dark Teal Linen Midi Dress for £72 in sizes 6-24 in two lengths. Meanwhile, Next has the Friends Like These Green Ruched Front ITY Midi Dress for £39, with teal seeming to be a popular shade this season.

It’s not the only one of Susanna’s recent outfits that is on sale at the moment, either. Last month, the host scooped the Outstanding Achievement Award from MHP 30 To Watch. For the event Susanna wore LK Bennett’s Altyn Shaped Seam Fitted Crepe Dress , which was just the right balance of formal and easy to wear.

Susanna’s LK Bennett dress is usually priced at £299, but it’s currently on sale with £60 off, slashing the price to £239. Although she opted for the bold red shade, the Altyn Fitted Crepe Dress also comes in black, making it the perfect LBD.

Kyrgios to miss Wimbledon with new injury setback

Nick Kyrgios, an Australian, has experienced a “small setback” since his most recent injury-related return, and he says he will miss this year’s Wimbledon.

Due to a troublesome wrist that required surgery, Kyrgios, who lost to Novak Djokovic in the 2022 final at the All England Club, has played very little tennis in the last two years.

The 30-year-old won his first singles match since 2022 at the Miami Open in March, but he later missed the French Open due to a knee injury, which had previously been his intention to play men’s doubles.

The Australian’s recovery has suffered a minor setback, and sadly I won’t be able to return for grass season this year.

I’m sincerely sorry for your disappointment and I know how much you’ve been anticipating seeing me out there. However, this is just another setback, and I’m already working hard to recover from this.
