I am not against funding the women's game but we must not make the same mistake as we have in the Men's game. This money must be to promote the English game not to enable clubs simply to buy in players from other countries. At present the Premier 15's does not have enough quality players for the number of teams it has now. Any funding must come with strict limits to overseas players otherwise we are simply funding other countries development.

Sadly wb the dye is cast. I've had similar arguments about Prem Academies having Welsh, Irish and Scottish players on their books. Originally Academies were setup for the production of EQPs that seems to have lapsed and the Premier 15s will be no different. Look at the new Teams, full of non-English players
Exeter might as well call themselves Exeter North America Nippon Cymru Women.

Do not believe the figures that are being quoted about the expansion of the Women's game. Yes it has had some growth but scratch the surface and its hardly massive. Pumping money into a League that doesn't and will not ever pay for itself is madness.

Ealing Trailfinders / Mike Gooley has piled money / personel into a Womans team based at Brunel University.

No, I'm not against proportional funding of the women's game.

Proportional.

Not saying you are wrong but do you include the Prem and Championship in that?
