World Rugby Chairman Sir Bill Beaumont has called an emergency meeting from representatives from all tier-one countries along with Fiji, Japan and the players' union to discuss the future of the international game.

Representatives will gather in Dublin at the end of the month, this follows widespread criticism of the latest proposals for a World League.

Beaumont says that he is looking forward to a constructive debate with his colleagues and productive outcomes.

He added that no decisions have been made amid concerns over player welfare and the marginalising of the likes of Georgia and the Pacific Islands.

World Rugby insists it is in support of a promotion and relegation system in the league, but the Six Nations remains opposed to the concept.
