[QUOTE="welshglory, post: 713437, member: 38673"] A little off topic but i think that a national representative competition could be very beneficial to England. I know quite a few English guys who were very focused on rugby during their school days who have a lot of talent, whom once cut off from the Academy system pretty much gave up on competitive rugby. The problem is under the national and club academy system it is quite disjointed in England from what i can gather. Imagine if these top aspirational guys in the Champ were mixed with academy prospects and academy squad members from the premiership and top county and regional players from around England. It would create a great competitive environment and a great showcase to aspire to. If there was a coordinated approach under the pro level to foster and nurture talent for the Premiership and national squad then a lot more talent would be kept in the game. Obviously it would have to be integrated into the English structure, you can't simply copy NZ's NPC or SA's Currie/Varsity cup. [/QUOTE]
