Top rugby stars ‘sign up for IPL and Formula 1 inspired breakaway competition’

A number of the game’s leading players are believed to be ready to sign lucrative contracts that would see them line up against each other in a new competition.

The competition, which is thought to have been inspired by the successful IPL cricket tournament and Formula 1 motor racing series, would be played in a number of major cities around the world.

The news comes as a blow to the sport’s governing body, World Rugby, which has been trying to crack down on the growing number of players who are opting to play in overseas club competitions.

However, those behind the breakaway competition believe that they can offer players a more lucrative and attractive option than the current system.

The competition is thought to be the brainchild of a number of high-profile agents, who are believed to have secured the backing of a number of wealthy investors.

It is thought that the competition will be launched in the next few months, with the first games being played later this year.

The news has sent shockwaves through the rugby world, with many fearing that it could lead to a split in the sport.

However, those behind the breakaway competition insist that they are not trying to damage the sport, but rather to create a new and exciting competition that will appeal to a wider audience.
