[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1073010, member: 74121"] To play Devil's Advocate we are a few years away from Scotland's new semi-pro Super 6 to see if it provides a credible pathway for domestic talent. I'll cling to that. The Scottish union were hoping to add London Scottish to the Super 6 and it appears the English union are opposing that (I imagine in part due to the issues raised in this thread). "“As you know we’ve been talking to London Scottish about the potential of them coming into a Super8. They’re having conversations with the RFU which will take time and they probably won’t join the Super8 or Super7 in the short term. " [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.theoffsideline.com/the-world-of-scottish-rugby-and-beyond-according-to-mark-dodson/[/URL] Long may that be the English position as it is the only thing that will get the Scottish union to get its house in order and investing properly within its territorial boundaries. The same article also alludes to the already feeble youth development in the cities of the north east getting even weaker. To my mind, poor domestic development and over 50% of your national side being developed by others are two sides of the same coin. One helps cause the other in an unvirtuous cycle. [/QUOTE]
