[QUOTE="BPM, post: 1088868, member: 59968"] I think that’s a bit dramatic. Are you talking about the Challenge Cup specifically or European competition as a whole? The Challenge Cup hasn’t been a priority for English clubs for quite a while. It feels like it’s only taken seriously when it gets to the latter stages and there’s a genuine chance of silverware. It’ll still be a target for clubs who probably aren’t quite good enough for the Champions Cup. The Champions Cup is a different kettle of fish. The budget disparity with the French and URC teams puts English clubs at a significant disadvantage and if the SA teams are also involved it will get even harder. That said, I still think some clubs will have the quality to get to the latter stages. [/QUOTE]
