That seems a very strange move?

If Ryan Burrows is retiring from level 4 rugby, I wonder if he will play lower down.
Poole is a great signing. Can understand why players don't want to do Nat 1 mileage if based in the North.

I hear Burrows is joining Wath-Upon-Dearne RUFC for his final season. Could be where he first started?

Zak could be in for a shock if Sheffield are sent to Nat2East!

That would be an interesting (albeit bizarre) for Sheffield to have to move.
Interesting in the sense that, if that did happen, they’d be up against the likes of London Welsh and Esher. Surely that can’t happen, can it? I’d have thought SKiwifruithorpe would be better candidates to move east but up to now I hadn’t given it much thought. Will have to get the map out. At what point is this decided?

Anything can happen when the RFU chuck the 42 Nat2 post codes into the computer. If a club was required to go East it certainly wouldn't be Scunny - Sheffield (or Tigers) would be first dibs.
Macclesfield, Chester, Newport(Salop) never thought they'd be heading South West (maybe also Lymm for 25/26) but it happened! Usually June when leagues are announced

We already know that when it comes down to Chester and Lymm, Chester are the ones to move (as per 23/24 season). One thing's for sure, the side that has to go East or West will just have to suck it up as under the current structure there's no other way to do it. Wouldn't be so bad if the RFU were funding travel...
