RFU to Approve Major Rugby Restructure

The Rugby Football Union is finalizing a major restructuring of English rugby that will see the Premiership separate from the lower leagues. The proposed changes will eliminate promotion and relegation, fundamentally changing how the sport is organized in England.

This decision marks a significant shift in English rugby's pyramid structure, with the top tier becoming increasingly isolated from the rest of the competitive landscape. The RFU is expected to confirm these changes in the coming weeks.
