Exiles hoping for deadline extension to enable takeoverRFU to meet later on Wednesday to rule on club’s fate

Irish were clinging to the hope of a week’s extension to Tuesday’s deadline for either the proposed takeover to be completed or the owner Mick Crossan to guarantee funds for next season, but it remains to be seen if the RFU will grant the Exiles another seven days.
