The RFU’s plan to create a new 20-team cup competition for Premiership and Championship clubs will be blocked, heaping further pressure on Twickenham executives already under fire for poor governance.
The proposed competition includes radical ideas to reshape the game, including the introduction of a powerplay in which each captain can nominate an opponent to spend ten minutes off the field.
The RFU’s plan is for the competition to feature all 11 Premiership clubs but only nine from the Championship, with the remainder sent off to form a different competition in Scotland.
The proposal was raised at an RFU council meeting last week and immediately rejected by Championship clubs on the grounds that there had been no consultation over the details leaked at the weekend.
Next, we must block any attempt by the RFU to grant special rights to Wasps Legends - unless they fulfil all the requirements for being a phoenix club.

We can block RFU decisions? Why didn't someone tell me before?!
The Chief Executive shall convene a Special General Meeting on receipt by the Chief Executive of a written requisition so to do duly signed by not less than one hundred Members in the same manner as is prescribed by Rule 7.13(a). Each requisition must clearly state the specific resolution to be moved.
