Looks like the clubs taking a battering are the those supplying the bulk of the RWC England squad - obvious I know ...
But my point, I cannot believe that funding is equal despite Newcastle and Worcester supplying no england players...

2 Saracens 14

Suggest we follow the NZ route and refuse to play in the next one (for Cody that is prob sarcastic)

I follow the tigers and they shipped 50 points at home last week, it is nuts. Is there a domestic cup this year? if there is why not drop it and start the season a couple of weeks later to lesson the impact.

Current Referee grade:
Level 6
Notice how well Harlequins do when they get shut of Easter for a few weeks.

The funding isn't equal. I am sure that the clubs get money based on the number of EPS players.
