What about sponsors, broadcasters and fans?
It is not a front line competition

Gloucester fans may confirm that the Challenge Cup is the trophy to win for any up and coming team!

My feelings towards the challenge cup is I would far rather not be in it than win it.
At best you can say you’re better than the other bottom 6 of each league is pretty bittersweeet.
But I would still celebrate winning it.

I find the obsession with the Saints game of recent years another tragic indication of where we are.
Yes Saints was always a big game but our biggest games were always the ones with more than local pride riding on them, our season defining games should be against Exeter, Saracens, Toulouse, Leinster Clermont and Racing. Until we reach that point we still have work todo

Nah.
Saints will always be the first game I look to see when.
Even when Saints finished 12th.

Doesn’t matter how either team are doing.
Anything could happen Saints v Tigers.
Form goes out the window.

Have to admit I'd rather us beat Chiefs than Saints these days if given the choice!

Yes I'm of a similar persuasion, would prefer to be in Heineken Cup but it's still a competitive competition once you reach the knockouts, and it's a more of a major trophy than the PRC!RagingBull wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 7:31 pm My feelings towards the challenge cup is I would far rather not be in it than win it.
