Photo: David Rogers/Getty ImagesSeven of the 10 English Premiership rugby clubs are balance sheet insolvent, according to an independent financial industry report which has prompted a stark warning that unless the sport embraces change in England it is “heading for a precipice”.

“Rugby for me appears to believe that just because we have always done it in a certain way that is the right way, when it’s clear that unless drastic change happens our game is heading for a very untenable position in the future.

In terms of debt the report has Bristol topping the list to the tune of £60 million , with the “best” side in that regard being Exeter with net debts of £15 million at the end of 2022-23. It makes the next 18 months, in Haskell’s view, pivotal to the professional club game’s existence.
