RFU to Confirm Radical Revamp of English Rugby

The RFU is poised to approve a significant restructuring of English rugby, which will see the Premiership separated from the rest of the league system.

The proposed overhaul involves removing promotion and relegation between the top tier and lower divisions, effectively creating a closed loop for the Premiership.

This radical decision aims to stabilize the top flight but faces criticism from traditionalists who value the competitive ladder between leagues.
