London Irish probably suspended tomorrow. Those at the top of the game have sat there watching whilst a quarter of the top division have pretty much disappeared. Professional game is imploding in the country.

Rugby’s problem is it’s chip on the shoulder - it thinks it should be as big as football.
it can’t accept they’ve tried to run themselves like football clubs without the appeal
until it accepts it will never be a major worldwide sport it won’t recover
Don’t forget Covid - It only affected WaspsThey could just do a Wasps and blame SISU and Saracens for being in so much debt and never paying their bills.
Doubt that. One of the better run clubs, financially, in the Prem (which is why they are so low in the table). They're signing cheap lower league players and releasing better paid ones too.Newcastle in trouble too, they could be next

Isn’t prem rugby seperate from the RFU? I’ve no sympathy for the prem teamsMost Prem clubs, and one or two outside.
There are scads of well-run clubs outside the Prem.
Skint, but well-run within their means. No thanks to the RFU.
What can the union demand? Their members are just going to accept lower pay in the championship - or I suppose England dropping their selecting only from the prem policyIrish's deadline has now passed with no word re. funding.
There's a meeting between the players and the players' union and the RFU about to commence.
Could be interesting.
