[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 607826, member: 13611"] Word is that 5 French clubs have already agreed to play in the Heineken Cup. More are expected to follow. Could the RFU use this as an opportunity to wrestle control of England's top players? Sky have the rights to the RFU Championship and Heineken Cup. Championship clubs are denied entry into the Premiership due to restrictive promotion requirements so there's bound to be no love lost there. Do the Championship clubs jump into bed with the RFU and enter the Heineken Cup since PRL are contractually prevented from doing so? This could be facilitated by the RFU centrally contracting English players, see the Union gain more control and be a peace offering from the RFU to the other unions. [/QUOTE]
