Conclusion
The demise during the playing season of two Premiership clubs is a stain on the reputation of the RFU and PRL. It is not indicative of a healthy professional setup. We welcome the planned reforms to prevent similar occurrences in the future, but such alarming circumstances should not have been required in order for the RFU and PRL to realise the necessity of these reforms.

Government Response Summary
The government looks forward to hearing more from the RFU and PRL on planned reforms and is liaising with both to understand their approach and share best practices.
