Looks like the play off games won’t happen, as they only happen if the club topping the championship meets the minimum standards.

Premiership clubs can’t play at a potentially championship ground unless it is the cup competition then it’s perfectly ok to do so… probably because current internationals don’t need to slum it.

Well, as we all know, Saracens had all 27 internationals injured during their season in the champ because they were such precious flowers. This decisively proved for all time that the minimum standards criteria are mandatory and necessary.

I thought you were going to say they were not necessary, as there would not be 10 Premiership sides standing come the end of the season.

Not sure where this comes from. When the Pirates beat Saracens Maitland, Koch and Duncan Taylor all slummed it at the Mennaye.

Apart from Donny does any Championship club meet the minimum standards?

Nope. But I know one that could do so quickly should it decide to apply.
