(Reuters) -The launch of the R360 league has been delayed by two years, to 2028, to allow more time to meet the proposed rebel franchise's standards and ensure its long-term commercial impact, board member and former England centre Mike Tindall said on Friday.
Originally scheduled to debut in 2026, R360 plans to establish eight men's teams and four women's teams, competing in a condensed season format through grand prix-style events around the world.
