The man who led the review into the Saracens salary cap scandal says the Premiership must work with players as the realities of post-coronavirus economics start to unfold
There are weeks – and this has been another one – when rugby union finds itself on a perilous tightrope. Over on the far side of the canyon is a potential land of plenty but one false move could have grisly consequences. With the realities of post-coronavirus economics also starting to unfold, the sport needs calm, rational counsel like never before.
Which is why the advice of a 72-year-old Cornishman with little previous connection to the pro game needs heeding. Prior to compiling his perceptive report into the Saracens salary cap affair, Paul Myners was City minister under Gordon Brown’s government. He is also a previous chairman of the Guardian Media Group and the Tate which, if nothing else, indicates an ability to look beyond the narrow horizons of corporate greed.
