Read our privacy policy Former rugby player James Haskell says other clubs could go into administration, following Wasps and Worcester Warriors. “Some players are going to be lucky to move on to other clubs, but the nature of rugby at the moment with the salary cap is these players are going to go from earning good money – rightly so for their skills and the way they put their bodies on the line – to reduced salary and some people won’t get a job. I don’t think Worcester and Wasps are going to be the only clubs, I think some drastic change needs to happen and, unfortunately, I think rugby has been faffing around for too long and not dealing with this issue. I think it’s a very dark day for rugby across the whole game.” Wasps are the latest to go into adminstration with the news coming on Monday and players have been sharing their heartbreak on social media.
