The proposed Qatar hosted finals of upcoming nations championship dubbed the super bowel of Rugby reportedly worth £800 million (or £200 million per tournament as Qatar looked to host the event 4 times) looks to be dead and buried.
Apparently all the Zanzar nations where in favour along with Wales and Scotland, while England where 50/50 on it, but its being outright rejected by France and Ireland reportedly over human right concerns and also over concerns over a lack of fans due to the distances and cost involved in getting their.

Thoughts?
