London Irish insist all staff will be paid this month amid growing concerns over the club’s finances in a season that has already seen Wasps and Worcester fold.

Irish are looking for new buyers with owner Mick Crossan stating at the start of the season he would offload the Exiles for free if reassurances could be provided that they would be properly funded.
