Both Worcester Warriors and Wasps today suffered blows that may result in their relegation from the Gallagher Premiership, as English club rugby’s financial crisis continues to worsen. “We are grateful to the staff at Worcester Warriors for their hard work in being able to provide the required information to allow the games to go ahead last weekend and in the week ahead. And their non-participation in this season would surely result in relegation from the Premiership, a fate also facing Wasps. The Times’ Alex Lowe reported earlier this afternoon that Wasps had filed notice in the High Court of their intention to appoint an administrator. Under RFU rules, that guarantees relegation unless the club can display that their financial difficulty was through no fault of their own.
