Worcester are no great loss

Worcester have slipped out of the Guinness Premiership, not that Peter Bills cares too much. Read his latest for the The Independent.

"Worcester's catastrophic relegation from the Guinness Premiership proves two points.

"Men who invent heating boilers are not necessarily the best qualified to run rugby clubs and you cannot ignore warning signals before your eyes. Worcester have been guilty on both counts and pay the price. Frankly, they're no great loss to the Premiership.

"Worcester have been in the top flight of English rugby for the past six years and for most of that time they've done little except scuff along in a perennial relegation battle. The last three seasons, out of 12 teams in the league, they've finished 11th, 10th and 11th. And even the season before that, 2005/6, although they finished 8th in the table, they were only one win better off than Bristol, who ended up 11th of 12."
