       These are essentially prolonged preseason matches for the
       Premiership sides. It's largely academy products and players
       trying to get match fitness, vs full strength Championship
       teams. It's useful experience but it by no means says anything
       about how competitive the top of the Championship is vs the
       Premiership.
       The sides being put out by Prem teams are largely the sorts of
       teams that might get thrown out at the end of the season by a
       team trying to make a point, or when they're in a huge sulk
       because they've been relegated for cheating.

       That's a little unfair. "Some" teams having that kind of sulk
       would make their point by simply reducing their match day 23 to
       include only 15 tier 1 internationals...

       I was referencing a particular match where we saw what happens
       when they field a non-international side (we annihilated them)
       :-)
