In charge: Bill Sweeney
(Picture: Getty Images)English Rugby has offered its public support for a proposed Club World Cup, with RFU Chief Executive Bill Sweeney describing it as a “very good idea”, and hoping it can encourage a rivalry reminiscent of the Ryder Cup between the two hemispheres.
Sweeney, who recently returned to work after illness, says he has been across the idea’s development because he sits on the board of EPCR, who control European competitions.
