Although not directly a National 1 issue, this affects the whole of Rugby given the current situation & also the latest revelations of the Newcastle financial position + possibility of loans from other clubs, and the stories abound about a club being catapulted into the Championship. Not to mention London Irish who are targeting a 2026 return. 

Why can’t they give financial support to the likes of Ealing & Coventry to help them over the line?




So yet again it is rewarding failure on the pitch but denying ambitious clubs who have been successful. No, they seem to want to resurrect the old guard, which means that clubs like Ealing & Cov will find it even harder to gain promotion. This cannot be right.

Am I the only one who thinks we are in a parallel universe?

Phasers on stun. Beam me up Scotty.


Time for a song I think in advance of the confidence vote later this month.

It has always been thus, back in the days of amateurism, clubs would not offer fixtures to clubs trying to rise up the ladder. There is still an element of it amongst some posters on these forums, I have seen clear examples where some would like leagues outside of the Premiership ring fenced, there is not really a feeling in rugby of building up, it is definitely about dumbing down to protect the interests of those who consider themselves the chosen ones.
Some of it class snobbery that Ellis Genge has spoken about, but some of it just protectionism, this is a rugby problem, but it also reflects life outside of the sport.
