Jamie George says players’ voices must be heard if rugby’s drive to survive is to get out of first gear.
The England star described the death of Premiership clubs Worcester and Wasps as “absolutely horrendous”. He said those lucky enough still to have jobs in the sport had a duty to do more to get rugby motoring again.
“What has happened has opened the eyes of players, made us realise rugby isn’t in the place we thought it was,” said George. “We thought we were comfortable and that Worcester and Wasps would never go down. Now, Joe Launchbury doesn’t have a job and 166 others at Wasps don’t have one either.
