Premiership club in salary cap probe, source tells TRP

Neil Fissler reports on a new potential salary cap breach looming over the Premiership

ENGLISH could be set for another storm on the eve of the returns to action.

The Rugby Paper understands a club are currently being investigated for potential breaches of the salary cap, and that it’s not .

Saracens were deducted 35 points and fined £5.36m after an inquiry into business partnerships between former owner Nigel Wray and players.

They were later docked a further 70 points to ensure that they finished bottom of the Premiership.

Clubs have agreed to lower the £7m cap to £5.6m for the 2021-22 season to help clubs overcome financial problems due to COVID-19.

We understand the club concerned are in the running to finish top four, and if anything is proven it would be a massive blow for the sport.

PRL declined to comment.
