Agree with Yareet, it is completely Prem centric, and my
understanding is that we got the present system/calendar to fit
in with the Top 14 schedule, so can’t see it happening.

Sorry - that is a Yellow Card offence.
No reading any topics on the board for the next 10 minutes.

I will accept your verdict, but was not aware that it was not
allowed.

It is a slippery slope.
You start with agreeing with the occasional Yareet post and
before you know it, you find yourself siding with Marsile in an
argument.

Sounds bad, but not the ultimate horror, of waking up being a
Saracens fan, buying signed Owen Farrell shirts, and spending my
afternoons at the Stone age.

Wonder if the matches will be shown on a channel that people
actually watch

Well, it will still be EPCR negotiating the TV rights sale so
who knows where the matches may end up.

The rights run out at the end of next season, so perhaps they
may actually except the bid that is for the most money.

Why would you want to leave out the best bid? (Pedant mode)
You are of course using 20/20 hindsight because how could you
possibly know what the best offer would be when TNT walked away?
