Am I correct in understanding that the fixture don’t commence until October. When will fixtures be announced, now we know which teams are in the league?

Yes, Weekend of Sat Oct 4th has been confirmed. Fixture list wasn't released until July 22 last year, there is an unconfirmed rumour that this year it will be July 19. ------------- TeflonTed, 2 miles from Sixways |

To avoid clashing with the women 's World Cup would be my guess |

I believe so - but totally irrelevant (IMO of course). I couldn't see football doing similar. ------------- Our Club |

I believe the Prem is starting late, as four of the venues are in use. I understand they were thinking there might be a cup - until there wasn't. So we start late too. Fun here, isn't it. ------------- Sweeney Delenda Est |

I've booked you on a Diversity & Inclusion course in the Cyrille Regis Room next Tuesday, 11am.

| The cup was going to be played before the league season. Total mess. |

If a pattern of late emerges, play 5, rest, play 5. Sadly Nov 8th will be a rest weekend. I find it assuring when a match is played Armistice weekend. ------------- The older I get, the more the RFU leave me confused. |

I was totally expecting that. Just for info, I have no issue with women's rugby, or women's football, and have watched both, live. I just don't see why it should delay the start of the Championship season. Reform.  ------------- Our Club |

It’ll also give players involved in summer tours a chance to rest & recover before another treadmill commences. No bad thing imho. ------------- #AClubForLife💛❤️🖤 |

I saw him playing for Hayes at the age of 18. He was quite good!

Are there many players in the Champ who will be representing their countries in Summer internationals ?

Indeed Kimbo. He was quite good at Hayes but became a brilliant top-level player and even more than that a very decent human being.

There’s one at Nottingham for sure- Jack Stapley is currently playing for the UAE in a summer tournament. I imagine there’s probably other such tournaments that other Champ players are taking part in

Thanks seagoon, was worried I'd logged into a football/soccer chat room for a moment.

I believe they are 'rugby footballers', or in this day and age more commonly just 'rugby players'.
