# Rugby: World Rugby warns that Tests remain the pinnacle of the sport and any franchise league not offering players that opportunity, won’t attract the best talent. CEO Alan Gilpin reacted to the planned R360 (R-three-sixty) global franchise league, fronted by former English centre Mike Tindall. It is reportedly set to attract top players with big-money offers like IPL cricket and LIV golf. Gilpin says they welcome any investment if it creates a more financially sustainable game. World Rugby enforces the release of players for Test rugby from any recognised competition.
