British and Irish League merger can be answer to French rugby dominance

A proposed merger between the British and Irish rugby leagues has been suggested as a potential solution to counter the growing dominance of French clubs in European rugby. Proponents argue that combining the two competitions would create a stronger, more competitive league capable of attracting top talent and retaining it away from the financially powerful French Top 14. The merger is seen as a strategic move to help British and Irish clubs compete on a more level playing field in European competitions.
