    Rugby's inaugural World Club Cup is set to launch in 2028 as talks over the new competition reach an advanced stage between the five leagues involved


    The four-week tournament will be hosted in the northern hemisphere during June.

    An agreement is a work-in-progress but the format taking shape includes eight European sides, six from Super Rugby and two from Japan.
