       RFU to cut 42 staff in bid to balance books

       More than 40 staff will be laid off by the Rugby Football Union
       as it seeks to stem "unsustainable" losses.
       The job losses come as part of restructuring with 64 roles at
       risk, and 22 new posts created.
       The RFU said it would "protect headcount and investment" in the
       community game and the changes will not have a direct impact on
       England's men's, women's or age-grade and development teams.
       The union recently sold the naming rights to Twickenham to
       insurance giant Allianz in a deal believed to be worth about
       £100m over 10 years.
       However, its most recent financial report - published in
       December - forecast an ongoing operating deficit of £5m which it
       described as "unsustainable in the long term"., external
       A new Professional Game Partnership between the RFU and
       Premiership clubs, which gives England more control of its elite
       men's players in exchange for £33m a season, has added to the
       union's costs.
       While a rise in the cost of "utilities, travel, and the
       operating costs of running a business", combined with "a decline
       in broadcast revenues and consumer confidence" have also
       increased financial pressures.
       Matchday and event income from Twickenham makes up the majority
       of the RFU's revenue and the newly-rebranded Allianz Stadium is
       a leading contender to stage the climax of the first Rugby
       Nations Championship in 2026.
