Heck of a result for London Scottish at Doncaster.
I want you all to line up in a circle and pair up in three's alphabetically by height.

There, I’ve fixed it for you. If this is the route that this league is going down then I don’t want anything to do with it. London Scottish are just a soulless, nothing club that don’t offer anything to this league. Teams like Caldy have had to fight their way through the divisions to get to this level and have stayed up by producing their own players. The RFU are a pathetic embarrassment for allowing this to happen. If it was my club that had 10 of their 15 players parachuted in from a Premiership Club I would refuse to go and watch them. If that’s the vision that the powers that be have for this league then Rugby below the Premiership is absolutely dead and we’d be better off in the lower leagues watching a team of players that actually have an affinity with the club that they play for rather than being used as an experiment by Premiership clubs.

That’s Blues 3rd consecutive win in Cornwall, first time we have done that, but not surprising as it’s always a difficult place to go.

From London Scottish Twitter page: "Statement made". 
Not quite sure what they mean other than their ability to garner a team from Premiership clubs and call it London Scottish - or is that me being judgemental?

Seems that the rumour of National One being the best is right.

The comments on London Scottish being a soulless CLUB are disgraceful. Our 2 amateur sides both won well today and we are having a blast this evening. Do we offer anything to a league that has no purpose… well who cares the league is wrongly forgotten by the RFU.
Enjoy the fact that a Quins laden side nilled Donny at home, the result will show it was London Scottish playing within league rules. I used to enjoy trips to Donny, always thought the fans were evenhanded, perhaps I was high on Cow Pie.

Sorry ExtraB you miss the point. Yes it might be within the rules (but is only in place to facilitate the Prem clubs glut of players who wouldnt normally get game time and its just a complete sham) If you see that as your clubs function in life then I feel sorry for you.
Me, I'd rather grow our own and support them to the hilt whether that be at Level 2, Level5 or Level 10

Well if you think that having 10 loanees from a Premiership Club in a starting 15 is OK and you are happy to support that, then fair enough. However, don’t you come on here and start belittling fellow rugby supporters that have watched their teams for years and happen to have a different opinion to yourself.

My point is that you attacked the club. The CLUB gives a lot to the game!  Yes there are load of Quins and other teams have a similar model. 

I don’t disagree that the league rules are a mess.

The team at the top of the Champ, unbeaten and on maximum points, uses no Prem players (apart from an emergency front-rower in week one), so it can be done.

That’s true - and I note that Coventry put Scottish to the sword in the first game when a lot of the “hired help” was playing.
