A season of severe injuries has forced the Rugby Football Union (RFU) to reconsider how it will pay a whopping £3m insurance bill.
Premiums have soared after at least 10 players of all standards suffered injuries during last season which could leave them paralysed or severely disabled.
It is understood the unprecedented rise in injuries has pushed premiums up 20% from £2.5m in September last year to £3m at the start of the 2005 season.
There is speculation this week that the RFU could seek other ways of funding because the ever-rising bill has become a "major" problem.
The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.
Hosted by comedian and actor Tom Allen, 34 Gold, 23 Silver and 22 Bronze awards were handed out across an amazing 34 categories recognising brilliance and innovation right across the breadth of UK general insurance.
