France withdraw from hosting World Cup

France have withdrawn from hosting the next rugby league World Cup.

The country have experienced funding issues, with the French government going back on its initial promise to provide 60-million euro to stage the tournament.

They'll be meeting tomorrow with organisers hoping Australia and New Zealand could take on hosting duties.
