An emotional Joe Launchbury has admitted he will 'never get over' being made redundant by Wasps after being at the club for over a decade.
The financial crisis plaguing English rugby deepened last week when the Coventry-based club were suspended by the Premiership, amid debts of more than £35 million. The money owed relates to the club's move from London to the midlands back in 2014, as well as unpaid tax bills to HMRC.
On Monday, Wasps entered administration, meaning they join Worcester Warriors in being relegated. And on a devastating day for club employees, 167 players and staff members were made redundant.
