R360: A fairytale?

The biggest shake-up in rugby history—or just a fantasy?

In this week’s episode of Rugby Unity, Eddie Jones and David Pembroke go head-to-head over the much-hyped R360 competition. Is it the catalyst rugby needs to force change, or a reckless distraction that threatens everything fans love about the game?

David pulls no punches as he calls out what he sees as a media-fuelled fantasy built on fluff and fairy dust. Eddie sees it differently, drawing parallels with World Series Cricket and the IPL. The debate goes deep into what R360 could mean for the global game—from the money and logistics to tradition, values, and the future of international competitions.

It’s a fiery episode that pits optimism against scepticism—and asks whether rugby’s future lies in tradition or transformation.
