Johann van Graan, the Bath director of rugby, is fond of a phrase that he was taught by the former Springboks head coach Heyneke Meyer: “You don’t need a trophy to say you’re a champion, I’m a champion every day of my life.” Bath fans might be forgiven for replying: “OK, yes, but please, deliver us the bloody trophy.”The league title has eluded the men in blue, black and white for so long, ridiculously long.

The Times revealed this week that team owners from the Premier League, Formula 1 and the NFL have submitted bids to buy franchises in R360, which is backed by the 2003 World Cup winner Mike Tindall and due to be launched next year.

Their 2026 autumn fixtures will then be against New Zealand, Australia and Japan at home before the inaugural Nations Cup finals series.

Will Stuart is not a man who likes to pop his head above the parapet too much. The Bath, England and soon-to-be British & Irish Lions prop is witty and dry, self-deprecating and thoughtful rather than brash, bold and boisterous. With his fiancée, Nancy, he is renovating an old house in the Somerset countryside, and where Finn Russell might be whipping around in an electric blue Chevrolet Corvette, Stuart is more of a clapped-out Land Rover Defender kind of guy.

R360 league delusional and commercially unsustainable — TNT Sports chief “If these folks believe that they are going to grow the revenue by putting this thing on, I think they’re delusional.” @TimesSport https://t.co/sqDo882qYO
Breaking: Zander Fagerson is out of the Lions tour. He has not recovered from his calf injury, so replaced by Finlay Bealham. Fears over Tadhg Furlong's fitness, so Will Stuart is suddenly the premier tight-head fit. As per @TimesSport Jamie George and Asher in camp this week.
Updated! Jamie George & Asher Opoku-Fordjour will be in Lions training as cover this week in Portugal, as finalist/injury absentees rack up. @TimesSport https://t.co/6OwbhZAjLq
