(Reuters) - Premiership Rugby teams that breach salary cap rules in the future should be stripped of their titles, an independent report has recommended.

The review, which was published by the league on Thursday, was carried out by former government minister and member of Britain’s House of Lords Paul Myners on behalf of the Premiership after defending champions Saracens were found to have breached salary cap rules for three seasons.
