Legendary England number 8 Lawrence Dallaglio has responded to the online backlash he received for suggesting Wasps shouldn’t be relegated if they enter administration due to the ‘size of the club’.
Speaking on the highly popular show ‘Rugby Tonight’ Dallaglio argued that Wasps should not face automatic relegation in the same way Worcester Warriors have due to them being a bigger brand.
“They [RFU] will say that any club that’s in administration has to go the same way as Worcester,” Dallaglio said.
“But the reality is, do you want to lose one of the biggest brands in club rugby, in world rugby and one of the brands that’s been one of the most successful sides in the Premiership? Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.”
However, he has now looked to specify his position on the subject.
