Re: London Welsh kicked out of English professional rugby
The amateur club is still going and hopefully they'll be able to regroup and work their way back up the English rugby pyramid as both Richmond and London Scottish have done. For the last few years they've been a role model of how not to run a professional rugby team. Poor management, some shady dealings internally and being strung along by dodgy "investors" who were never going to be able to invest.johng wrote:http://the42.ie/3203605

"They supplied seven players to the victorious 1971 British and Irish Lions squad in New Zealand, a figure that remains a record for the number of players from one club in a Lions squad."
That stat immediately seems wrong. Maybe most from an English club.

They were actually mid table in the championship until they had 20 points deducted last month.
