Wales legend Sam Warburton has told players they need to "reset their expectations" when it comes to wages if the game is to get back on track.
Professional rugby union in England and Wales is the midst of a financial crisis with Gallagher Premiership outfits Wasps, Worcester Warriors and London Irish having all gone to the wall. In Wales all four professional sides are being forced to aggressively push down the wages of players, while playing budgets will eventually get slashed to £4.5million.
And former Wales captain Warburton has told the Mirror this needs to happen to get the game back on the right footing.
