[QUOTE="skinnyquin, post: 139216"] The event is brilliant and judging it on this year is probably unfair - as you say the RWC is going to hit attendances. I don't have a problem with the boisterous behaviour in the crowd either, there's a festival atmosphere which I quite like, and it never seems to go too far. And I did forget to mention the Exiles who played well and looked fairly hungry. Interesting idea about running the two events on the same weekend but would it not put teams off fielding first-teamers completely? I think that would complete the transition from serious competition to run-out for the juniors. There would still be value in the latter for the clubs but as a fan/spectator I think I'd find it hard to justify turning up to watch an academy competition. Going back to running it at the end of the season after the play-off final could work though. I don't think it's dead, might need a shot of adrenaline to get the heart beating though. [/QUOTE]
