Rugby bosses Bill Sweeney and Simon Massie-Taylor were called to resign by MPs as they were strongly blamed for the devastating demise of Wasps and Worcester.
RFU chief executive Sweeney and Premiership Rugby CEO Massie-Taylor faced tough questions from a select committee from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) on Thursday over the financial implosion of the two Premiership clubs.
Wasps and Worcester - two institutions of English domestic rugby - both plunged into administration in October and were subsequently relegated and suspended from the top flight.
