There is a big difference between “The South” and “London”. Devon and Cornwall, Somerset even, are more similar to Northumbria and Cumbria than they are to Surrey and Hertfordshire. We are lucky to be based near London and to be able to rely on players developed by other Clubs and not just on our own. 

That said, good luck to Esher Colts playing Cobham in the Final of the Quins Cup on Sunday.

Just because the 3 teams at top of Nat2N will end up with more points than those at the top of Nat2S doesn't mean they are better - could just be the fact that with the exception of a couple of teams Nat2S has more good teams than Nat2N


Or,  there could be a lot of mediocre teams in N2S who all struggle to beat each other. Who cares. 

The reason that Clubs in the South are more successful and field more teams is a question of greater available resources, which are attracted south by more opportunities for jobs/careers etc but, let's not get into politics.


Tell the residents of Redruth and Camborne that there are more career opportunities. Extraordinary.


Good point.


Great point. Hadn't noticed Redruth and Camborne in Nat 1. recently.
Never heard of London then?



They aren't currently in N1 although Redruth could possibly be next season - as for London the daily commute would take longer than the working day

I put maps in the other thread.

Chinnor                                                 
Cinderford                                                 
Darlington Mowden Park                                                 
Esher* - promoted from Nat2 South
Hull - promoted from Nat 2 North
Leeds Tykes*

Rosslyn Park                                                 
Sale FC                                                 
Taunton

North

Blaydon Rugby Club
Chester Rugby Union Football Club
Fylde Rugby Club
Harrogate Rugby Club
Huddersfield Rugby Club

Barnstaple

Clifton
Dings Crusaders  
Exeter university  - promoted from South West Premier
Hinckley

Leicester Lions
Loughborough University
Luctonians
Newport - promoted from Midlands Premier
Old Redcliffians - promoted from South West Premier

Stourbridge

East

Barnes
Blackheath - relegated from National 1*

Bear in mind, Blackheath could still get ahead of Leeds, and Redruth could overtake Esher.

I suspect there has been a massive increase in the sale of prayer mats in the Twickenham area of late, Esher overtaking Redruth and probably moving to N1 changed the scenario in the "Straw Man" example circulated by HQ in March. If Leeds can complete their escape and Esher do gain promotion, then Blackheath slot nicely into South, Redruth go into West and Chester can move into North. Cue prayers and supplications on Leeds behalf from TW2 plus a sudden interest in flat caps, whippet racing and beer with a head on it!!!
If only Webb-Ellis hadn't given them the ball back!
