[QUOTE="will311293, post: 1126740, member: 73664"] Was watching the Montpellier game vs Exeter yesterday and thought how incredibly talented Nouchi was off the bench, with Jelonch injured, someone made a great point that definite bolter for world cup. Looks a serious and seasoned professional already with such great decision making. However, raised a thought about the Prem, when you look at France vs England U20s, i'd be interested to see the league cap split. Out of the England U20s team, how many have played in (not even started) 5 prem games this season? maybe 4 to 5? Only regulars i can see are Fisilau (Exeter), Chessum (Tigers) and Cunningham-South (Irish - didn't play against France) . I know of Cleaves (Quins) and then Theobald-Thomas (Wuss/Glaws) from mentions in Prem Cup and few appearances as well as Ma'asi White, McArthur and Opoku-Fordjour from Wasps but hardly any play in Prem. Prem squads wonder why they struggle, there's too many average overseas imports or players who block path routes. Couple this with an underfunded champ, its a receipe for disaster. If the champ was funded well, we would see a shift of players down into second division and more opportunities open for players coming through. Moreover, French second division is watched and seems to be shown on TV, don't understand why RFU don't consider maybe taking a hit and offering BT Sport, Amazon or another streaming service a cheap deal and say... have it for almost nothing, see how you feel and if you like it then pay a little more, gets fans involved, don't hide it behind a pay wall and get fans involved. If schools can live stream football, rugby and cricket (i.e. Daily Mail Cup) from there sports pitches, surely they could do this, maybe even put young/new people involved industry, whether than be presenters, camera crews, directors, whatever it might be. Create jobs, more exposure and fund clubs giving them exposure too. [/QUOTE]
