Re: Championship rugby
Saracens went full bore, they weren’t going to take any chances. The margin of victory is still quite surprising nonetheless.
As for Saracens next season, apart from Spencer, Wigglesworth, Skelton, Kruis, Lamositele they will have all their major players back (unless I’ve missed some more players).

Dean Richards says he is shocked by how many good players are out of contract in the Prem, and argues that for the sport to be viable the Championship needs to be fully professional as it is in France. Indeed to tier 3 in France, I believe.

Re: Championship rugby
Yes,there was a debate over whether they would due to them being the 13th league team but it looks like they have weaselled their way in. It would’ve been fairer if they have had to have a season in the league first after their behaviour.

Re: Championship rugby
They will be in the challenge cup not champions cup - top 8 from the 3 leagues only qualify
Less is more....

Re: Championship rugby
Carre, Liam Williams, Barritt, Singleton, Figallo and Gallagher were all pretty much in or around the 23 but left as a result of the salary cap fall out. Figallo and Barritt brought forward their retirements rather than play in the Championship.JP14 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 14, 2021 9:17 am Saracens went full bore, they weren’t going to take any chances.

Yes it's Challenge Cup they're going to be in.
To my mind it makes sense them getting in.
In a "normal" season the promoted team makes it in, but the relegated team doesn't.
It's relegation that has been suspended so to my mind if they are going to have the 13th team miss out on qualification then it should be the one who avoided relegation, so if an English team misses out it should be Worcester and whoever gets promoted (even if it's Ealing) should be in the Challenge Cup.
