Walsham came within a minute of their first points of the season as well

Fine margins all round.

Esher’s winning scoreline flattered them - Wimbledon were MUCH better than the 20 point loss infers and they certainly don’t deserve to be second from bottom.

I’d agree with PropDad there. 3 of Esher’s tries came in the last 15 minutes courtesy of a stronger bench. On the day I thought Dons were better than I have seen recently from bith Henley and TJs.

Going to be fascinating at the bottom this year, anyone currently from 8th down is in the mix, NW look gone but bud Worthing having the capacity to improve quickly, Guernsey will be strong at home and collect points, Wimbledon playing well without reward and Sevenoaks and WP picking up points

I believe, following Jersey's demise, there are only eight relegation places.
So one of the three 12th place clubs will be reprieved.

You are usually100% accurate in your assertions and information posted on here but maybe not in this case (unless it's me which is always very likely!!) . 5 relegation places from the 3 NAT2 leagues so one of the 13th placed clubs will be spared.
How they can dish this down (and it has come on RFU letter head) when they've not even sorted out Levels 1,2 and 3 is beyond me!

You are right, I was thinking of the old days when we still had play-offs.

Level 2 have been told there is no relegation, and promotion only if the top club meets the minimum criteria, so essentially no promotion.

I do not believe there is going to be any change in level 1 next season, but I have no evidence.

Where are we with the status of Nat 1 next season...? there seems to be a lot of chat around it being split North and South and the subsequent effect it would have on promotions and relegation etc.

Far to early to know. I'd suggest checking back in April.

IF and it is a huge if, the RFU accept the Championships position on franchises, then with a full tier 2, I cannot see that there is any need to change tier 3 or 4. (One caveat here, I am using common sense, not sure if that is applicable in TW2)
