Rebel clubs locked in talks to create breakaway Euro league

A REBEL “Super 14” style breakaway by many of Europe’s top clubs is on the cards.

Southern hemisphere reports yesterday claim that leading franchises in Ireland, England and France are in talks with broadcaster Setanta Sports to set up what will effectively be a European version of the Super 14.

If the deal comes off, leading clubs in Europe will become even richer and will be operating outside the auspices of the International Rugby Board.
