If that's the case, then N2S have about 25 return plane tickets to pay for. for Guernsey And as for LSE,  North Walsham in northern Norfolk and Havant are going to be in a spot of bother. Which in turn is going to see rugby be centralised in big towns/cities with good transport connections rather than smaller isolated outposts. This is not something I'd want to see.

Are we surprised? Apparently the L3/4 went off air during the presentation.

Other things were not clear: the geographic split has been talked about in this thread but is far from thought through; the slides presented had to be corrected after the event because they showed the wrong number of leagues at L5; who is going to be responsible for administering the six L5 leagues - presumably not the current 4 divisions.

And the issue of lower XVs entering the league was only briefly discussed, albeit there seemed to be broad support for the idea - but having some experience of this (at lower level leagues) it is not without its problems - there is a 100 player limit for the registration system just now, that is rapidly reached by a club that had 3 XVs in the league system and - in effect - has to be ignored at the lower level; how do we ensure that the integrity of leagues are maintained and there isn't an en masse loading of higher players into a lower team if it suits the club to do so? Is a club allowed to forfeit a first XV match and still play their second XV fixture? How many times can a player play for a higher team and still be eligible to play further down? All of these have been problems in leagues I am familiar with - and if people will bend the rules to gain a point or two at Level 10, I am pretty sure that we need to watch for it at L6.

I am also of the view that there is no particular reason why a structure has to be uniform across the whole country - appreciate this forum is for national leagues and national clubs, but below that level if what suits the North does not suit the South West, why should they be put in the same straightjacket? 

My observation, for what it is worth, is that this work - regardless of its merits - is not ready for implementation, even if we were looking at a normal 2020-21 season. But given the likelihood of a significantly shortened season the chances of it providing a sound basis for such a radical realignment in 2021 is close to zero.

Time for the Council to assert itself

Ill take your word for it!!

How do you work that one out? Other than Sale FC none of those clubs have any help player wise from their parent club as you insinuate.

Don't they already have 2nd teams in the league (just in legal roundabout ways by "legally separate clubs") with London Irish Amateur, London Scottish Lions, Ealing 1871, Wasps FC, Saracens Amateurs, Harlequins Amateur, Sale FC, St Jacques and London Welsh Amateur (I know they're currently using the LW name but they were the second team) to name but a few who already skirt around the "no second teams" rule?  Not to mention the majority of Sussex 2 is made up of 2nd teams.
