Eddie Hearn is rugby's 'force for good', claims PREM chief - after Cote d'Azur summit with boxing supremo hints at key role within 'Project Forge'

Eddie Hearn 's foray into English club rugby is set to expand after PREM boss Simon Massie-Taylor hailed the boxing supremo’s arrival in the sport as a ‘force for good.’ Matchroom head honcho Hearn has already signed English tyro Henry Pollock and Scotland and Lions No 10 Finn Russell to his sporting stable, the pair joining the likes of heavyweight superstar Anthony Joshua . Hearn’s presence in the oval-ball game is only going to grow in the future. Earlier this month, he held talks with PREM chief executive Massie-Taylor on his yacht in Monaco.
