Worcester Warriors players and staff are to have their contracts terminated after the company that held those contracts – WRFC Players Ltd – was liquidated in the high court in London on Wednesday.

Authorities have been pursuing the Warriors for unpaid tax in the region of £6m. While the company that owns the club has been put into administration, WRFC Players Ltd, a subsidiary of WRFC Trading Ltd, remained operational and was the subject of action.
