I am so weary of reading about what might happen next season. Will the top side go up? Will the Premiership get ring-fenced? Will Worcester play in the Championship? No they won't. Will Wasps play in the Championship? Who knows. How many teams will be promoted from National One? How many sides will compete in The Championship? Or will there be two Premiership leagues consisting of the top 20 placed teams? What funds are available for rock solid clubs like Caldy and Ampthill? It goes on and on and on. The fact that there is such confusion is a disgrace. Rant over.

The only certainty Cherub is that however badly tiers 1 & 2 are mismanaged, however many professional (sic) clubs go to the wall, however many rugby creditors remain unpaid, however many rugby supporters have their hearts broken and however many semi-professional and amateur club volunteers are taken advantage of...
No one in the RFU hierarchy will lose their jobs, fall on their sword or even have to face honest questions... The policy of protecting the business of the RFU (instigated by Ian Ritchie) at the cost of it's member clubs & rugby facing employees MUST end. IMO Sweetnam, Bujalski & Day and especially Borges should all be summarily sacked and lose any benefits including pensions. The RFU is a Provident Society, not a personal fiefdom for fatcats

Recognise many of your concerns Cherub, tho' in your frustration you are asking questions about next season to which the answers are known: - Will the Prem be ring-fenced? No, not if Ealing win the Champ & their ground's passed as compliant. Update - Ealing's ground non-compliant. So closer to ring-fencing, but not actually there yet - Will Worcester be in the Champ? No - How many sides promoted from Nat 1? 1 - Will there be a 2 x 10-team Prem? No, not next season Still some uncertainties - hopefully one of which (Wasps) may be answered in the week ahead

The problem with the B&I cup was that the Scottish and Welsh sides were not interested and the cost of flying to Ireland to take on the Irish districts 2nd XV proved a step too far. That was the reason the cup died.

True enough, but some get the juices flowing better than others 😁
