RPA STATEMENT

Whilst agreement has been reached between the RFU, the Champ Rugby Board and Worcester Warriors regarding the payment of rugby creditors, there remains players outstanding who are still waiting to be contacted by the club to have their payments confirmed.

Given the comments made last night by the Worcester Warriors CEO we expect these payments to be fulfilled without any further delay.
