Although it happens every year and then they go and find some more good Welsh players.

I agree. We read on other websites who has left Ampthill but not a squeak from the club until the new season is about to start. It is very frustrating. Mind you, the possible new conditions for the phantom Prem 2 might be an issue for the club. The ground might hold 3,000, there is no stand, and the pitch is a 200 yard walk through the woods from the clubhouse.

I think a few Championship clubs might find either their current ground and/or planning objections make any new minimum standards impossible to achieve. Confused

Cambridge would suffer from the latter, especially as any improvements would be for only 11, then 13 home games - less than 20 hours of rugby a year, planning objectors would have a field day. 

Let's hope clubs' ambitions are pragmatic.

Just thinking out loud but possibly going with more Sarries dual register players next season?
