Re: Wasps revival???

No conscience what so ever, I read somewhere(possibly here) that some debts have been cleared, but not all, so for me the rules have to be applied equally to all, they start again at the lowest place possible, just like those before them. Litigation by clubs like London Welsh, would be undoubtably s...

Re: National league 1 - 2023/24

Leicester Lions 36 Sedgley Tigers 16 The Lions got back to winning ways with a bonus-point victory against a determined Sedgley Tigers side. Despite the heavy pitch the Lions scored 5 tries in a fine display of running rugby. The home side were led out by Simon Johnson on his 150th appearance for th...

Re: National league 1 - 2023/24

Week off next week, just one catch up game from a cancellation in Nat 1 then a tricky visit to London to play Rosslyn Park, but they won the last two games away down there so you never know. This weeks win is particularly a good one, 13 Lions and Satala started the game, with an ex Lion from last se...

Re: 2024 Six Nations Chat

Does seem odd not using Steward, especially as he was universally lauded as having his best game in a white shirt last time out.

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby

Lack of fanbase, the product was going out of fashion, remember the last game of the season 2018/19 I think, we went to Newcastle, both teams knew whoever lost was relegated, that was an amazing match we were fortunate to win. What is there now for those clubs at or near the bottom? Nothing, nada, z...

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby

Ring fencing has killed four clubs, how many more are you planning on letting go to the wall, fans will not follow a game where there is little or no jeopardy, protectionism has failed to work anywhere.

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby

Newcastle could be currently held up as an example, would they win a playoff against Ealing or any other Championship side who comes top? What is wrong is that false restrictions prevents competition for them to try. We don't want another London Welsh, but to deny a winner from taking their place is...

Re: English RFU ditches plan to sell Twickenham

All the talk of growing the game and the simplest way to do that is to play the top level matches around the country. Like France are doing this year, I have enjoyed going to the cabbage patch in the distant past, but wouldn't go now, Murrayfield is a quite pleasant place to visit for a game, even ...

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby

What would be sustainable is 6 regional pro teams supported by 2 leagues of semi pro teams, which Ealing would be ideal for, in a British mainland league. Unfortunately the wrinklies would never buy it So you now propose getting rid of the English clubs and having regional pro teams, so you want to...

Re: Trailfinders a sad indictment of rugby

We are not trying to prove ourselves as Premiership material and have a large number of under 25s in our first team squad including a number of England internationals. I have no idea who Mr. Ealing is. An 11 club top division with a club who can’t attract 3000 spectators for one of the biggest club...
