Yet another conflict with the Premiership. Rugby always used to be a participation sport but there is now a drive for it to be primarily a spectator sport. Is the pond big enough for both?

Unless there's a by product of people turning to rugby having watched it for the first time .... unintended consequence for Saints

Biased, but I think Saints is an excellently run organisation.

Their engagement with local clubs and kids is superb.

May be the case now, but as a parent, my experience is thar their approach to children is, at best, poor.

I wonder how many of the England U20s squad came through volunteer led community clubs, National Leagues and the Championship? Heaven forbid that the RFU should invest in clubs outside the Premiership!

Yes but..
 

Those are TV rights not funding from the FFR to the clubs.

I read that more people watch Pro D2 than the football equivalent.

Tres bien travaille France! (?)
