Nerve touched 😂 Is that a viewpoint or just sour grapes ? I welcome both Worcester (by default) and Richmond ( who have been promoted ) to the league next year and wish both well. “As they simply aren’t up to it , both on and off the pitch” really come on Se7en you are making yourself look ridiculous Hope Rory is ok You seem like the Rs |

This does rather make a mockery of Ampthill’s status as a club. I wonder if Dave Ward knows what he let himself in for?

The chance to work with Saracens players was probably a selling point...

Why does this make a mockery of Ampthill but all other clubs that use loan players, which is all of them, are not mockeries? Are Hartpury a mockery of a club? Caldy? London Scottish? Chinnor? etc etc etc Ampthill are a community club running 5 senior men's sides, women's sides and the largest Mini and Youth in Eastern England. They have strong links to Saracens. All other clubs in the division have strong links to a premiership club and loan players, other than Ealing in all probability. DR players are not an unalloyed boon, they can make team coherence from week to week a problem, but they are the only way that clubs without vast wealth can function at this level You may think you are sitting on a moral high horse but it looks more like a hobby horse from where I am.

When it reaches the stage where the loaners’ home club is posting Ampthill match reports on its website, then yes, I think it has gone too far.
