LONDON (Reuters) - World Rugby and the national unions should rule on whether a team can donate a portion of their match fees to an opponent rather than leaving the players to decide, England prop Dan Cole has said ahead of Saturday's game against Samoa.
Earlier this month, Samoa's Prime Minister and rugby union chairman said their union was bankrupt and could not afford to insure their players or pay the head coach's salary but World Rugby has since dismissed those claims.
