London Broncos • London Irish in Initial Plough Lane Talks

I've been aware of this for a little while, but didn't want to raise it here to cause unnecessary concern, especially as the initial info was confidential and not intended for public consumption. But it is now out in the open. What wasn't clear was which club were in discussions; Ealing (having just failed their ground review again), London Irish (due to Brentford now being in the Premier League) or Wasps (a new ground to assist their revival).
