RFU expects £10m loss after England's worst-ever Six Nations campaign

The Rugby Football Union is expecting a £10m financial loss in the year ending June 2026, largely driven by England's dismal Six Nations campaign. Steve Borthwick's side lost four of their five matches and finished fifth, resulting in reduced prize money. The RFU described the performance as "hugely disappointing," with insiders citing the team's light fixture calendar as a contributing factor.
