[QUOTE=NeverbeentoChinnor] Mr 'Awesome Awesome' nearly went a bit too early on one of those conversions .
never in doubt, I've spent 57 years watching conversions, I rarely get it wrong ... I don't think he struck that one quite as sweetly as the previous two, hence it deviated a little (and then kept on moving) ... but you live by the sword, you die by the sword ... |

Mr 'Awesome Awesome' nearly went a bit too early on one of those conversions . DMP win my gold medal for speed of publicity this season although I wonder whether the camera should be placed on the other side of the ground so you can see the crowd in shot. Looks a great stadium...just empty from the current angle.

There is also a match report on the Darlington Mowden Park website. I thought Rams were worthy winners with very strong defence and red zone scoring which was effective and efficient. They have a potent driving maul and any penalty kicks to the corner are likely to be converted into tries from the ensuing lineout, so I can see why they are, with Chinnor, joint top of the table. |

EAPs can be dual registered at more than one club at the same time

From a financial standpoint, 16 team Championship is brilliant - but no Cup

Raider, I agree we should, but the RFU does not always work like that. In particular, when the 16-team National One became the 12-team Championship, the National One clubs did not find out until halfway through the season. |

It is the same player. I presume he is on loan at Chinnor

Fatbear (or anyone else in the know!)
If Glister is the same one who was on loan at Leicester Lions earlier in the season, how does that work and is he now at Chinnor for the last six matches? Or can he go back to LL (still to play Chinnor!) or Saints? Thanks for any guidance!

I assume this is Easter 24 for implementation 25-26? Am I the only one who believes every team should know the promotion/relegation criteria at the start of the season? Obviously, a team going bust would be the exception to this. |

I think NBTC was suggesting 80 points conceded isn't good for a defence coach's CV !

From our chairman, Tim Hague. I do not believe it is a secret that the league size has been discussed - with options of 12 and 14 on the table. The key word is discussed, nothing is certain. Cambridge would prefer 14, as we make more money from home games than the extra away trips would cost. And the gaps between home games this season have strained our cash-flow. Assuming the Prem stays at 10, it also means the Prem Cup then has 24 teams, so four pools of six. A decision is expected by Easter. |

Players from the Premiership and Championship who are in the process of getting coaching certificates do train with National league sides, 4 or 5 years ago Harry Wells from Leicester Tigers did some coaching at Leicester Lions and former Lions player Aneki Sio, now with Nottingham was also listed as coaching the forwards when they were in Nat 2 North. |

Taunton would stay up, if the Championship expands to 14. Which is being discussed. |

I was under the impression that the changes were for the 24/25 season not this one
