Premiership clubs block Maro Itoje’s Racing 92 loan to spark row with RFU

A controversial plan to allow England’s Maro Itoje to play in France next season while still being available for the national team has sparked a major row between England’s leading clubs and the Rugby Football Union. Itoje has been offered a seven-figure sum to join the top French side Racing 92 on loan rather than turn out for relegated Saracens in the Championship but the idea has been vetoed by other Premiership club owners. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/mar/13/premiership-clubs-block-maro-itojes-racing-92-loan-to-spark-row-with-rfu
