Wasps go into administration and make playing and coaching staff redundant

English rugby team Wasps’ entire playing and coaching staff have been made redundant among 167 job losses on another dark day for English rugby.

Less than three weeks after their fellow Gallagher Premiership club Worcester went into administration, four-time English champions and twice European Cup winners Wasps followed suit.

They had already been suspended from the Premiership, following Worcester in seeing their season put on hold, with both clubs facing relegation.
