I followed some of the pre season fixtures online last Sat afternoon, and fair play to Leicester Lions, it looked like a much closer game than the final scoreline suggests against Cov, who are a full time professional top end Champ club with some serious young talent mixed in with some real experience, so well done to the Lions on giving a very good account of yourselves on the BPA plastic, against a team who were, until a few months ago, 2 leagues above you
 I agree with what you say about the uncertainty from 24/25 onwards. Unfortunately for current Nat 1 clubs, I can see the Prem and Championship becoming Prem 1 and Prem 2 after this coming season, and most likely ringfenced with no relegation to or promotion from Nat 1, certainly for the next few years whilst the idea is bedded in and clubs, stakeholders, sponsors, TV corporations etc are consulted on its feasibility moving forwards. I just can't see the big wigs wanting any more potentially economically fragile semi pro clubs joining the fray and rubbing shoulders with established Prem clubs, over and above those that currently make up the Champ. Never has the idea of being promoted based on more drawn games been so important for the Blood and Sand than as it was last season

We were to be told of the RFU's master plan in "good time", but who only knows when that is

Shouldn't you have said "I just can't see the big wigs wanting any more potentially economically fragile semi pro clubs joining the fray and rubbing shoulders with the already established 'unsustainable and economically fragile' Prem clubs". We were told some time ago that season 24/25 would see Nat 1 go regionalised with, as you say Prem 1 & Prem 2 above. I believe that this is now not as certain as it was but is still on the table.

If as expected N1 is divided for the 24-25 season it is highly probable that their may not be any relegation from N1 at the end of this season.
As usual who is where will depend on what happens to the Premiership and Championship - especially with the possible reappearance of Wasps, Irish and Worcester in level 2 |

Leicester Lions field a much changed team for the visit of Nat2 W side Hinckley, the side includes young scrum half Oscar McCarthy who has come through the clubs development group, along with Leicester Tigers academy tighthead prop Oli Crane.

Very impressive from Sedgley Park, such a strong league. They will be confident that they can start well. Richmond heavily beaten by Jersey.

Cambridge 19 33 Chinnor Cambridge scored two quick tries in the first five minutes and looked to be cruising, and then went off the boil. Chinnor look to have recruited well and should do well this season.

Mond 7 Jersey 50
Slightly surprised by Mond pack who matched the fearsome Jersey pack. Though it did not look as good as last year The Jersey backs were slick creating many chances down each wing Wprried by the lack of creativity by the Mond backs Good to see Mr and Mrs Islander
