LONDON (Reuters) - No clubs from the Rugby League Super League, the second-tier Championship and third-tier League 1 will be relegated in 2020 for reasons of integrity, player welfare and solvency, the Rugby Football League (RFL) said on Monday.

The decision was made at the RFL board meeting which also discussed the withdrawal of the Toronto Wolfpack from the rearranged 2020 season and a designated return to action in October with fan attendance.
