Financial instability looms in the Premiership as Bath Rugby leads, while Exeter Chiefs face coaching upheaval after a heavy defeat.

Concerns over the financial stability of several clubs in the England Rugby Premiership have escalated, with Northampton Saints` director of rugby Phil Dowson warning that the league is "sleepwalking" towards a financial crisis. Dowson suggests that adopting a franchise model without relegation may be essential to avert further club administrations, following recent financial troubles faced by Wasps and Worcester Warriors.

In a dramatic turn of events, Exeter Chiefs have suspended coaches Rob Hunter and Ali Hepher after suffering a staggering 79-17 defeat in the Premiership. This loss has raised questions about the team`s direction and future performance.

Currently, Bath Rugby leads the Premiership table with 65 points from 15 matches, closely pursued by Leicester Tigers, who have amassed 51 points. The playoff race is heating up, with Sale Sharks and Bristol Bears also in contention. Notably, Leicester Tigers` academy players Oscar Talbot and George Marsh recently showcased their talent by contributing to England`s Under-19 victory over Scotland.
