Three leading Prem clubs in talks with overseas investors on eve of rugby union season

Three leading Premiership rugby clubs — Harlequins, Northampton, and Gloucester — are in serious talks with overseas investors ahead of the new rugby union season. Prem Rugby is reportedly using cricket's Hundred competition sell-off as a template for attracting outside investment and driving growth. Harlequins are noted as a particularly attractive proposition due to their proximity to central London.
