The former Wasps and England captain Lawrence Dallaglio has attempted to clarify his comments after appearing to suggest over the weekend, in the wake of Worcester’s suspension and relegation from the Premiership, that financially-troubled Wasps should be treated less harshly by the authorities because they were too big a club for the league to lose.
With financial uncertainly still swirling around Wasps, who served a second notice on intention to appoint administrators last week with an unpaid tax bill of £2m currently outstanding, Dallaglio has sought to expand on the views he expressed on BT Sport and “to apologise if those comments were taken out of context”.
