English Premiership in real trouble going by these debt figures also talk of Wasps merging with London Irish.LI owner stated that he would sell club for £1 if someone would take it on with the debt.
Gloucester debt £27m
N'hampton £26.5
Worcester £26.5
Sale £30.9
Leicester £31
Harlequins £33.7
Bath £37.3
Newcastle £39
Sarries £40.8
Bristol £51.2
Wasps £112.3

None of them stack up as a viable business going forward.

A lot of wasps players redundant. I hope they all get sorted but I'd be surprised if Tom Willis doesn't get a provincial contract offered his direction.

Hypothetical but hear me out. Jack Willis has played 4 times for England, his last appearance versus The Barbarians was an uncapped match in June 2022. His last appearance in a capped match was versus Italy in February 2021. Current World Rugby stand down period is 3 years for a person to make an international switch, is he 20 months into that cycle or does the Barbarians game count?

Games v the likes of the Barbarians are non-cap games as they aren't a country's 1st XV / 2nd representative XV etc and deemed an invitational side.

Thanks Neill, question still stands, do non capped games count in the stand down period? It doesn't mention capped games in the bit of info I could find on World Rugby website. If Jack Willis was 20 months into that cycle and had desire to play for Ireland a two year contract would potentially get him interested. Appreciate theres the like or loath these rulings aspect, which has been debated to death.

To the best of my understanding, non capped games DON'T count for the stand down period (open to correction).

I did read that the RFU were giving Worcester & Wasps players who would be in England contention for now and towards RWC 2023, the option to play outside England until the RWC and still be eligible for international selection.
