Dispute between IRFU and RLU settled

THE row between the IRFU and Rugby League Ireland, over the latter’s invitation to Union players to compete in their summer competition, has been resolved.

League bosses claimed that Union officials had warned its members off participating in the summer conference, citing concerns about insurance cover and the demand on players.

However, representatives of the two organisations held a lengthy meeting on February 18 and agreement was reached. RLI will now contact union clubs nationwide once more to canvas their interest.
