As the Worcester Warriors administration debacle rages on, the sheer extent of the crisis was highlighted in a statement from one of their young players, Ollie Wynn.
The Worcester Academy scrum-half said that due to players not being paid he was made homeless, but thankfully one of the senior players, Ollie Lawrence, has put him up in his house.
The Gallagher Premiership club are embroiled in a debt crisis which has lead to the non-payment of wages to staff and players, while the women's team have stopped contact training due to the club being unable to provide sufficient medical cover.
"Worcester means a lot to me, as ever since I was a child looking up to my dad I've always wanted to play rugby," Wynn said in a video he posted to his Twitter. "Fortunately I signed a contract three years ago with Worcester and I've been here since. I've loved every moment of being here.

Worcester Warriors and England U20s out-half, Fin Smith, also released a video via Twitter, where he put across the frustrations of the players due to the ongoing situation.
We're just really frustrated now. We haven't been paid, we don't feel like we're getting what we deserve as a group so we need answers.
With pre-season still underway, the Premiership is due to begin next Friday, with Worcester scheduled to play their opening match on Saturday against London Irish.
However, it is unclear what further events will occur between now and match day, and whether the game will go ahead.
