is the rugby league competition in doubt?
The long-awaited announcement, confirming that the Rugby League World Cup would go ahead in October and November, was published earlier this week. Â
However, as fans started to look forward to welcoming some of the best rugby league players from all over the world, the Australian and New Zealand boards announced that their respective rugby league teams would not be taking part in the competition.
So why did the organisers of the Rugby League World Cup announce the tournament would go ahead before they had secured confirmation from both ARLC and NZRL?
The World Cup organisers defended their actions and confirmed that they had done everything in their powers to accommodate the requirements of the Australian and New Zealand teams. Recent news coming out of Australia looks like the NRL clubs have had a big say in releasing players for the World Cup. The reason is to safeguard the new NRL competition starting on time in 2022.Â
will the rugby league world cup go ahead?
It is unknown whether the tournament is a viable option given that the reigning world cup holders will not be part of the competition. Plus, the New Zealand team had been tipped as strong contenders for the title in 2021. The RLWC2021 board’s latest statement has given fans no further information or indication as to what will happen with the tournament. The whole competition so far has been a PR disaster with fans.Â
The Australian and New Zealand national teams are competing in other sporting tournaments around the world. And questions have been asked whether the decision not to compete in the RLWC2021 was taken for alternative reasons. Furthermore, the decision will have a major impact on rugby league at a domestic and international level.Â
