[QUOTE="profitius, post: 897911, member: 41524"] Indeed, I see relegation having very little to do with the style of rugby. Most teams in every league are trying to play a more expansive game anyway because that's what wins matches these days. Stopping promotion/relegation is bad for English rugby. The premiership clubs are operating like a cartel now and there's nobody going to invest in teams in lower leagues, unlike in France where there has been great investment in lower league sides in the past few decades and we have seen new teams rise up which has resulted in new fans in new areas.
