So we still play their full team next Sunday?

So we, with our salary cap of £7m, play their team with its
salary cap of £8m+. How is that fair?

Let's see how many England players are called up by Jones first.
I remember there was talk about this 6N being rather
experimental for the England Squad after the RWC, but it'll
depend on what EJ wants to do. The Beeb seem to think that we
may lose Dombrandt this time.

Well we have been doing it for years which was why it was so
sweet when we beat them. Only difference is we now know WE WERE
right. One good thing we won’t have to tour the football
stadiums when we play in their ‘money spinner’

I really hope that we are compliant. Talk of other clubs who
might be in breach. Hope we're whiter than white

Well, we reported ourselves last season for straying a few
thousand over the SC limit

(And PRL stated
this should not be refered to as a SC Breach). I would guess
(hope?) that given our history from the Game That Shall Not Be
Named that we are careful to ensure that we comply with the
regulations.

That's one notable upside. No fixture fixing to ensure that we
play them in their showpiece game every year. A year off!
Sarries vs. Ealing at WHL it is then!

It should also mean that the *Game That Shall Not Be Mentioned*
will no longer be the standard "go to" reference when talking
about malfeasance in the Rugby community...

So how do Quins and the rest of the Premiership respond to no
relegation this year. I assume we will see all teams focusing on
attack and being able to play unconstrained rugby rather than
some being paralysed by the fear of relegation. At least we can
allow our injuried players to fully recover before bringing them
back, we might even see more being treated for niggling
injuries. Marchant can enjoy his period in NZ and then return to
a competitive season next year without Saracens.
As a supporter of Quins for over 20 years i would love us to win
the Premiership this year but if not i hope Exeter win this year
after being cheated out of the title last year.
WOW what a season. COYQ.

Does this mean that next Sunday, Saracens are just going to
stroll round the park? They will have nothing to win, nothing to
lose.
They won't want to injure themselves before a possible England
game, will they?

I’d have thought that all of the England players will be away
next week given the 6N starts the week after. Would expect
Sarries to be deprived of Farrell, George, the Vunipolae
(forwards) and Daly at least.
