Leicester Tigers have become the sixth Premiership club to say players will take a 25% pay cut to help the club through the coronavirus pandemic.

On Friday, Gloucester, Saracens, Wasps, and Worcester all announced 25% pay cuts, from 1st April, while Bristol Bears also confirmed an undisclosed-size cut.

The move will impact players and staff.

On 16th March, all levels of rugby across England were suspended by the Rugby Football Union until at least 14th April because of the virus.
