In two circumstances:

Firstly where the Union have central control and franchise clubs (as in Scotland, Wales, Ireland);

Secondly where the size of the league is expanded to include all currnet members plus the top 1,2,3,or 4 of the lower division (as is likely in England)

the pedant in me wants to say something about being top of the class and not being able to spell current. :evil:

but i shant. ;o)

fair point about barwell and the rfu. does anyone remember the theories that flew round when quins were teetering on the edge a couple of years back?

if the rfu didnt ride to their rescue they are hardly likely to move to help saints (or wuss for that matter - still 2 rounds to go!)

I know its a totally different game, but the NFL pulls it off pretty well!
