RFU anticipates £10m loss after England's disappointing Six Nations

The Rugby Football Union expects a £10 million loss due to England’s poor performance in the Six Nations, where they finished second bottom. Under coach Steve Borthwick, England lost four of five matches, resulting in a fifth-place finish and less prize money. Insiders have attributed this disappointing outcome to the team's light competition calendar. The RFU described the campaign as a “hugely disappointing” competition, impacting their financial projections for the year ending June 2026.
