Does it have to be the RFU to organise?  Yes, they need to sanction but not necessarily organise?

Jersey might do really well in the French D2. There could be some brilliant away trips. I wouldn't want to miss the curry and cow pie at Castle Park tho.
Dont kick it. Pick it up and GO FORWARD.

A cup competition between ProD2 and Championship teams would be brilliant and generate big crowds and lots of us travelling to some great places. Unfortunately the RFU don't have any desire to back anything that would be a success, it seems they want The Championship to fail.

I agree there would be some excitement in this type of competition... but it's an entirely unrealistic concept sadly - Pro D2 sides already play 30 games from end of August to end of May, followed by a couple of rounds of play-offs.

Some more Reds v Tigers info - including team line-ups - in the online match programme

The game is being streamed live for anyone who can be away from the grindstone by 5pm. Info HERE. The cost is £10, which has been described as 'extortionate' by the admin on the Tigers Fan Group page on FB. Another way of looking at it would be a host club providing a service to those who can't attend and charging a fee to cover the costs of so doing...

FT Reds 7 Tigers 17. Both sides left a few points out there, it was certainly committed altho' also a bit scrappy with all the to-ing and fro-ing with the bench. But a good hit-out on a lovely sunny evening
