This ties in with a conversation on the Nice fred but the SRU are clearly trying to fill the gap between prem 1 standard and Pro12 standard.
This was not on the agenda I saw for the AGM but I can't see prem 1 clubs being happy at all. I think it's a great idea.

Probably the traditional sounding ones; North, Midlands, borders, Edinburgh, Glasgow +1

That's great news if they can do it right. Has needed to happen for some time.

This is only happening now because I just joined Hawks on a season ticket for the first time.

It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Looks like this is edging closer to happening. I particularly like the move to link them up with universities. There's a lot wrong with the US sporting model but it certainly draws a crowd.
