Championship club Tata Steel RFC have endured a tumultuous start to the season and face the threat of relegation to the 'lowest Division' if they are unable to fulfill their matches.
They have been a fixture in the league for the past decade and challenged at the top half of it during that stretch, but the club are experiencing more turbulent times at present. A week before the season started, they put out a notice on social media indicating that they needed new players.
Tata were then unable to field a side against Beddau and Maesteg Harlequins on the first two weekends of the season.
