They would be outside of the PRL salary cap, big money goes to them and so do the players, big threat to PRL I think.

Really? I don't think the salary cap has been an issue so far, and neither the SRFU or WRU can afford to properly fund the regions as it is. Not convinced that the crowds would increase that much either.tigerburnie wrote:They would be outside of the PRL salary cap, big money goes to them and so do the players, big threat to PRL I think.

It's a possible scenario, a club in London, no financial constraints on it, looking for investment, plenty of advertising on Sky for the product. The relevant RFU's don't come into it, just if there's any protocol on clubs in one Unions area playing in another. Sure when the mooted Anglo-Welsh "European Cup" was mooted a while back it would have needed both RFU's to agree.

Re: x2 Exiles may leave English rugby
So the six nations goes back down to five. And European qualification changes accordingly. Also London Scottish and London Welsh rellocate grounds again? IRB will not agree that!
Still keeping the faith!
