I don't think he is (that good an actor), but the RFU are stuck. They haven't exactly been overwhelmed with applications, but they won't abandon ship on the idea.
Probably the wrong choice for the wrong reasons .... again.

You are right!
Abandoning the idea would be so much loss of face Baron and Thomas would have to resign!!
My guess is that SCW terms (not finacnial - political) will be unnacceptable.
So Rob will take the money - fail and retire. Good luck to him.
Shame for English Rugby.
But maybe he will tell them to stuff it - then they are in a mess. All depends how financially secure he is. £3 - 5M is a lot of bread.
