The URC had round 2 this weekend. Saffer teams did well. Biggest surprise by the Lions beating Ospreys at home. Also close win for Sharks away against Zebre. Edinburgh nearly beat the Bulls at Loftus. Stormers B had to thank Aki having a blond moment and left Connacht with 14 players. A struggle from them at Danie Craven Stadium.

It's been corporate speak for over a decade.

Certainly a bit sad for all at the club etc, and hope they can get new positions etc with other clubs. I not really surprised in one way, rugby hasn't been pro for all that long (25 years), and I imagine a few more are still working out all the ins and outs of sorting out paying off set up costs etc?

English Premier League instead of Worcester and possibly Wasps

@MiketheSnow this can open the door for our CC Premier league teams Cheetahs, Griquas and Pumas.

Worcester and Wasps owe huge sums in unpaid tax. Neither club is going to survive.
It looks grim but if the clubs go to the wall, creditors are unlikely to get too many pennies in the pound. Don’t underestimate the ability for a deal to be made.
My guess (based on fuck all apart from a hunch and a dose of cynicism) is that Wasps will survive and they will let perennial relegation candidates Worcester go to the wall.

Asset strip the club, then blame the players and fans that it failed. Utter scumbags
Worcester owners blame players and fans in statement branded 'shameless'
Worcester Warriors owners have apportioned blame on the playing squad and on their supporters in a statement branded 'despicably shameless'.

Doesn't seem to be very diplomatic does it? Though to be fair I not sure what they asset stripped etc, haven't followed it enough.

They sold the club carpark and other field for fuck all to businesses they own recently. Cos 'the club needed the money' but that is asset stripping. I would imagine they will be sequestered back when the club is wound up, as it is within 6 months

Great game today between Saracens and Leicester. An open but pretty even game to begin with but in the end Sarries just blew away the champions and stuck 50 points on them. In amongst a very good team performance, there was some excellent individual displays but Theo Mafarland, the Samoan lock/flanker was simply outstanding. A ridiculous performance.

I mean, doesn't that make it even worse when you get done over?
