[QUOTE="DonBilly, post: 118076"] I understand that in the agreement about to be signed the PR have obtained most of what they demanded: a stake of the ERC and 17 millions £ from the RFU for the access to the international players. The LNR main objective was to ensure the perenity of the English clubs in order to not remain the only clubs in the NH professional Rugby (with the Italian clubs) which in the end may have pushed the FFR towards a franchise system too. Moreover the boycott in the short term had the advantage to solve the calendar issues for next season. Since the PR has managed to get an acceptable deal with the RFU there was no reason left to the LNR to pursue with the boycott. [/QUOTE]
