World Rugby chairman Sir Bill Beaumont has called an emergency meeting to discuss the future of the international game. Representatives from all tier-one countries - along with Fiji, Japan and the players' union - will gather in Dublin at the end of the month. It follows widespread criticism of the latest proposals for a World League. This has contributed to the impasse, with sources fearing the Six Nations' stance could prove to be a roadblock for the development of emerging nations.
