Sarries and Ealing to be promoted

Supposedly Saracens and Ealing may be promoted with no games being played to a new 14 team premiership...

No, not that one!
Remember, whatever you do to the smallest of the backs you do to his prop, and you can't avoid the rucks and mauls forever...
I know you don't like it when I boo him but how else will he know he's wrong?

Re: Sarries and Ealing to be promoted
This is all conjecture by the Mail which has a history of 'making stuff up'. I suspect there is little support in the current Premiership for a ring fenced structure and increased numbers although at this stage of the current mess anything is possible.

Re: Sarries and Ealing to be promoted
The mail Rugby side is really the most accurate source of rugby news by far. For me if they say something I will tend to take it as true.
Chris Foy especially clearly has sources high up and all around the place.

This has been said before. I don't read the Mail as I prefer to read a newspaper but time will tell just how good the information is. If it is correct I will put my hands up

Re: Sarries and Ealing to be promoted
I'd wouldn't be so sure. 2 extra home games a season will make a big difference to finances.

Unfortunately, given the state of the game (on several levels) it makes sense.
And we’ll be lucky if it is a 14 team Prem at this rate!

Re: Sarries and Ealing to be promoted
A Premiership with several clubs losing millions per year being told the threat of losing £3-6m in one go is being removed and they can produce financially sustainable plans.
Pull the other one.

I’d take Sarries if it meant a ring fenced league such is my worry about us getting relegated. Can’t believe that thought even entered my head,things must be bad!

Re: Sarries and Ealing to be promoted
If we finish bottom in the forthcoming season we should get relegated & the entire coaching staff fired, on the plus side it would be another season avoiding the odious cheats.
To win is not as important as playing with style!

Re: Sarries and Ealing to be promoted
I'm not sure how Sarries being promoted without having to play a game next season diminishes the punishment. They would have walked to promotion anyway, with a fair few embarrassing scorelines along the way.
They've still lost 2 opportunities to win the Premiership and European Cup, that hasn't changed.

Re: Sarries and Ealing to be promoted
In some way it'll be worse for them, players (internationals and loanees aside) who'll not have played competitive rugby all season
