I can see their argument about not getting young English players on the pitch - who's gonna risk a 19 year old possible talent when you can hire half of South Africa (who don't count as overseas players ... obviously  :blink: ) to possibly save you from a million pound loss.

On the other hand - would anyone have cared about Wuss v Saints, or Quins v Sale on the last day of the season if nothing was actually riding on them? 

Obviously as a supporter of a team in ND1 I'm in favour of promotion / relegation ... as I was last season to be honest.  I was pleased there was no RFU / premiership change of rules to keep Quins up, that would have been even worse than being relgated felt at the time.
