Premiership II plans announced

   This proposal was put to the Championship clubs last year and they were given a deadline to apply but no club did. So the RFU under the new Prem 2 committee have re issued it. Will the Championship clubs still stand firm. The battle last year included the RFU assumption and Franchise club could apply (Wasps etc). Subject to any club achieving the new criteria. This would allow any club in Nat 1 to apply even if they do not finish in the top 2. However no mention of Promotion from Nat 1 or relegation from Championship. Presumably they are expecting a number of current Championship clubs to fail the criteria.
