Premiership Rugby issues statement after some clubs implement radical wage cuts
By Online Editors
Premiership Rugby boss Darren Childs has issued a statement following an extraordinary week for professional rugby in English.
With the coronavirus sweeping through England, Monday heralded the confirmation of a five-week suspension for the tournament and the week ended with a number of the league’s clubs revealing they have implemented salary cuts for players and coaches.

In his statement, Childs said: “The effects of coronavirus have created an extraordinary and unprecedented crisis for business as a whole around the world, not least for professional sports.
“What has become clear since last week is that it is only with a kind, collaborative and professional approach, we can come together and – when this crisis is over and it is safe for us to resume play – become collectively stronger.
“The health of our fans, players and staff is our first priority, so at Premiership Rugby we are working around-the-clock with our partners and the authorities on contingency plans to restart as soon as it’s safe to do so.
“That is what our fans want, but it will also be the biggest contribution that we can make to ensure the long-term health of all of the clubs in the league.
“Meanwhile, some of the clubs in the Premiership have taken extremely difficult decisions around salaries to ensure they are ready to weather this hiatus.
“I respect those clubs who have made those tough calls, and we too at Premiership Rugby have also made difficult decisions to ensure we can collectively emerge stronger.
“Although we have had these conversations in private, I wanted to publicly, and wholeheartedly, support our clubs as they take these difficult decisions in their respective businesses to ensure their own futures.
“Together we will get through this crisis, and professional sport will emerge stronger.”

You can understand that given the dishonest public comments by Galthie re Ringrose and Ntamack, that any citing commission are even less likely to react to another public attempt at pressure. These processes must run without favour to individual countries. Galthie is again demanding special treatment for France. You will note that a a direct result of Galthies public attacks both Beirne and Porter ave received threats from French supporters?
Galthies behaviour did gain one result: Carley seemed to be afraid to give a straight red for the off the ball Mauvaka head butt on Saturday.
I am not a betting man but I can see France eliminated from RWC 2027 on a controversial decision. Everyone will smile and think; “The boy who cried wolf”.
Just to clarify the ONLY issue otehrwise in refereeing or citing issue was inexplicably ‘forgetting’ Thomas’ broken nose which allowed Ntamack to avoid a full 6 nations ban.
