France Quit As Hosts Of World Cup

The move follows funding issues, with the French government reneging on an original promise of £52million for the 2025 tournament.

It is the second U-turn by hosts North America bailed out in 2018 amid financial concerns.

International Rugby League chair Troy Grant admitted it was "difficult to express how disappointed I am" in another hammer blow for the sport.

RFL chair Simon Johnson said it would continue to support the French game on "such a difficult day" while the IRL will meet tomorrow to start discussing contingency plans.
