It’s been a devastating month for top-flight rugby in England.

First Worcester and now Wasps – the inaugural champions of the professional era – succumbing to financial meltdown.

Their downfall has not only left players, coaches and staff looking for work, but also fans and communities bereft.

We hear from Wasps and England lock Elliott Stooke - as well as the man who oversaw the club’s two European Cup triumphs.

Plus, as envious glances are cast towards the thriving rugby set-up across the channel, we speak to the president of French top 14 side Brive.

Panel: Sarah Mulkerrins, Nesta McGregor, Sara Orchard

Producer: Sam Sheringham
