RFU to Revamp English Rugby Structure

The Rugby Football Union (RFU) is preparing to rubber-stamp a significant overhaul of English rugby's structure. The Premiership will operate separately from the rest of the rugby pyramid, effectively creating a distinct league system.

Perhaps most notably, the revamp will see an end to promotion and relegation between the Premiership and lower-tier competitions, marking a fundamental change to how English rugby has traditionally operated.
