Surely it beggars belief that any previous owner of Wasps who is still ''with us'' mentally would be willing to get his fingers burnt a second time? It doesn't make sense.
The RFU and iRFU will do everything they can to prevent territorial incursions by other tournaments and leagues. If your ground is in England, you WILL be subject to the RFU and will NOT be allowed to play in any competition not approved by them for English to compete in. Total territorial monopoly is what they currently hold, and, short of governmental action (unlikely as it is the same old boys club) that will not change, ever.Any player (including academy players) moving outside that system would be a pariah, as would the club, and any sponsor of that club.

There is no right to be considered for international honours, otherwise the courts would be overflowing with ambulance-chasing contingency fee lawyers representing third-rate players.
Another twist?BREAKING: Worcester Warriors rugby club has ANOTHER new owner 🏉 Chris Holland, who?s already a Director at Wasps, now owns a 97% share of Atlas Worcester Warriors, through a family company, Loxwood Holdings. https://x.com/bbchw/status/1703801473870540998?s=46
Does that mean he now owns the stadium?
Always a Wasp
