The New Nations Championship Is Already A Total Farce!

Is the Nations Championship already a dead man walking?
Before a single ball has been kicked, the new "global" rugby competition is proving to be anything but global. From Japan being forced to play "home" games in Australia to accommodate Ireland, to Fiji playing in the UK because Tier 1 nations won't travel to Suva—the political "bull" is already in full swing.
In this episode of Front Row Rugby, I'm digging into:
The Ireland Factor: Why World Rugby's Dublin HQ might be exerting a little too much influence.
Eddie Jones Speaks Out: The brutal truth about Japan's "political" travel schedule.
The Doha Dilemma: Why the UK "moaned" about Qatar until it suited the bank balance.
Tier 2 Disrespect: Why Zimbabwe, Tonga, and Samoa are being left out in the cold.
Is this the future of rugby, or just a corporate farce that needs to be scrapped for the old July and November tours? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
