The head of Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund has said that they aren't behind this. Not that I'm taking that as gospel but no one really has anything solid on exactly where this is coming from.

Also seen that the operation will be based in Dubai.

What makes me question Saudi involvement is everything you've said also applies to Saudi Arabia.

I suppose at the end of the day it all depends on how big the war chest is.

I would follow this on top of super rugby if we had a team that was all Australian, if you mix in others from around the world I wont really be interested.

The rebel Rugby 360 tournament has signed a broadcast deal with streaming giant YouTube in a major development that threatens rugby’s world order.

Code Sports can reveal that not only has R360 got a groundbreaking deal with YouTube, but they are partnering with former US president Barack Obama and NFL legend Peyton Manning in producing the content.

R360 organisers have partnered with Manning’s Omaha Productions, a company that collaborates with Higher Ground Productions – owned by Barack and Michelle Obama – to produce content for streaming platforms.

They’ve previously produced the hit Netflix series Quarterback, featuring NFL superstars Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow and Kirk Cousins.

They will also enter negotiations with free-to-air broadcasters in relevant countries to maximise exposure.

Okay. That's actually intetesting. YouTube obviously has reach but it's the teaming up with in particular Manning's Omaha Productions. If anyone wants to see their productions look up Quarterback on Netflix.
