London Irish’s demise should terrify those in rugby’s corridors of power

The reasons behind Irish’s downfall are different to that of Worcester and Wasps but no less chilling for the sport

EXPLAINER: The Gtech Community Stadium.

If one is misfortune and two is carelessness how on earth to describe the loss of a third Premiership club in the space of eight months? 

London Irish have finally followed Worcester and Wasps in being kicked out of the league, the financial mess that engulfs club rugby growing deeper. Again it is a tale of broken promises, of misplaced hope that salvation was round the corner.
