Got away with a fine. Still in the competition.

RFU 'By the way, we're reducing your payment by half next year, good luck with finding the money to operate' 😮
Saracens wallet 'I'm dying!'
Championship clubs in shock over RFU’s decision to slash funding by 50%
The Rugby Football Union is to cut its funding of the Championship by 50%, throwing England’s second tier into turmoil and leading to accusations of Premiership ‘ring-fencing’
-
@Machpants That’s pretty shocking. You do wonder how much CVC have to do with such a decision.

Was wondering what impact if any this might have on the SH Exodus, so scanning a few squad lists.
Seems like the answer is not much.
I did, however, find 41 year old Mark Bright still listed among the players for London Scottish!

Lots of them have said they're staying, but if the Championship carry out their threat of a salary cap, they won't. And until signings are announced who knows? With what the RFU have just done with payments to the Championship, the clubs there won;t be able to afford decent players, so the cream will leave. So how does playing what amounts to an NPC level comp do for your Eng & Lions ambitions?

Tipped to be heading back to Wales to coach the Ospreys.
Stepping stone to Welsh coach.
If that comes to pass, then
Welsh player, Welsh captain, Welsh coach
Not many (if any) of those.

@MiketheSnow don't get too many (if any) other dual code props either.
