From the Guardian.
Gloucester’s chief executive, Stephen Vaughan, has called for a freeze on the Premiership’s salary cap after it rises to £7m in 2017, warning that if it continues to go up clubs would either go into unsustainable debt or the league would become uncompetitive and break up

You know I'm going to lose,
And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!

With the debt levels in the clubs they should be cutting the cap not raising it

No, raise the cap. Make it unlimited. I want to watch the Premiership burn, just like they've tried to make ours.

Gloucester chairman says if it goes over £7 million then it exceeds income and all clubs would be operating at a loss

Sarries spanking Leicester in first semi final, 31-0 at half time, they do a double then we may have to begrudgingly start to respect Mark McCall

Sounds like a few French clubs are in big trouble financially. This has been coming for so long, hard to be believe its been allowed to happen.
