I love Saturday at anytime too,Sunday games should be banned!
Re: Premiership Rugby Cup - Probably Rubbish Cup!
Does anyone know whether PRC is an under 23 competition like the Welsh replacement for AWC? I'd prefer to see that than just a second string league.
Re: Premiership Rugby Cup - Probably Rubbish Cup!
Why do people complain about an attempt to fill in the fixture lists during the AI and 6N windows. Some complain about Prem fixtures during the windows, some complain that the younger/development players are not given a chance and some complain about mickey mouse competitions. I have no problems at all with an attempt to fill in the fixture lists during the windows with a development competition but would prefer a rule which said a certain number of development players must be used at the start of each match each match. That way the development players get a chance to shine, I can watch a competitive game and have a few beers.
Hehehehehehehehe

Re: Premiership Rugby Cup - Probably Rubbish Cup!
I agree with trendylfj, I think the A league and this new cup should be under 23 competitions with the proviso that a few overage players can be used with the instruction that an overage prop should only be with the agreement of the opposition coach, I don't want to see gnarly old veterans v teenagers as that could be dangerous. I remember a few years back Julian White was recovering from injury and the opposition A league coach agreed to him playing for a limited time.
Re: Premiership Rugby Cup - Probably Rubbish Cup!
I'd agree wholeheartedly with the u23 idea with perhaps only 3 recovering/overage players allowed full stop.
Leicester Tigers 1995-
Nottingham 1995-2000
Swansea (Whites) 1988-95
A game played on grass in the open air by teams of XV.

Re: Premiership Rugby Cup - Probably Rubbish Cup!
It's RWC year next year. We've already saw the stepup from England U20 to AP level and theres an even bigger step up from A league to AWC level which is then another level down from league level. I don't see how U23 type matches will gain the youngsters enough experience to step into the GP next season if needed. I like the way the Welsh have gone about it playing the Irish provinces A teams who are very good sides. As usual we blow smoke up each others bottoms and fall behind the curve!
Will 3 first team players make a difference?! With most of the AP teams playing as strong a team as possible in last year's AWC I'd be inclined to go the other way and say a max of 3 U23 players,I think the 3 would get more out of that than the 12 U23 just having an A league game with 3 first teamers in.

Re: Premiership Rugby Cup - Probably Rubbish Cup!
All matches have to be won- that was the old Tigers’ attitude which I believe needs instilling in all of our teams. Furthermore, £500,000 up for the winners with prize money for each game won. Well worth winning and establishes the right attitude in all of the squad. That’s why Sarries are rightful champions- every competition is respected and targeted. Sorry folks but I hate losing any game at any level. I also saw the reaction of Ellis Genge and others when they beat Exeter in the Anglo Welsh final: the winners medal meant a lot and those that went thoroughly enjoyed the great spirit put in that day. Win the lot.
