(Reuters) - English rugby bosses look set to oppose any attempt to tear up the game's newly-agreed global calendar at a meeting of the World Rugby Council in Australia this week, the Guardian has reported.

The new calendar, agreed last year, will start in 2020 and see the June test window move to the first three weeks of July, while matches between top and second-tier nations will increase by a minimum of a 39 percent in the period up to 2032.
