RFU expects £10m loss off the back of England’s worst Six Nations campaign

The RFU expects a £10m loss for the financial year ending June 2026, following England's worst Six Nations performance. Steve Borthwick's side finished fifth after losing four of five matches, resulting in reduced prize money. The RFU described the competition as hugely disappointing, while insiders suggest a light calendar was a significant factor. This financial downturn follows a dismal run of defeats and a nightmare campaign that left the team second bottom in the men's competition.
