The sporting world is not immune to our tumultuous times, it seems, not least in relation to the financial hardships of clubs such as Wasps and Worcester. We hope that there is some positive news for all those affected very soon; it cannot be an easy time for the players and staff, as well as disheartening for the fans.

In brighter news, England Women have shown their form with an impressive 72-4 win over Brazil in the Rugby League World Cup. We wish them every success!
