• Mark McCall says top players can recharge in Championship
The disciplinary report that led to Saracens being relegated from the Premiership found the club’s owner, Nigel Wray, broke the rules by entering into ventures totalling £1.3m with the England players Maro Itoje, Billy and Mako Vunipola and Chris Ashton.
That is according to a copy of the 103-page report by Lord Dyson, which was leaked to Sky News on Wednesday . It also states Saracens breached the salary cap in three consecutive seasons – with more than £1.1m of overspend in the 2016-17 season, just over £98,000 in 2017-18 and £906,000 in 2018-19.
