[QUOTE="LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan), post: 1178223, member: 70842"] Ealing had a look at merging with Ospreys according to the welsh press. If that is their way of trying to get into the URC then good luck to anyone else lol. Like has the URC actually approach any of the clubs that get mentioned or is it the SRU and WRU looking to try and get exiles a team? Everything I have heard is it's been SRU talking to London Scottish and WRU talking to a london club. What alternative does the RFU championship have to make the tipping point though? The URC are not going to want to have them. The Prem clubs (Bristol inculding) won't want to be with them. Can you source me the Saints cap comment because their CEO has said in a streamed fans forum that they don't even spend up to the cap. Let alone the et al part of it. I believe Gloucester, Falcons and Saints don't spend up to the cap going from various discussions in their members fan forums. Also where is the Exeter comment opposing it? and Bristol well Lam wants everything to try and justify his 7 year contract even if it means no cap so he can create the new pacific islanders side. I have heard clubs talk about the challenges of the cap. But only one actively talking about it in a massively negative way. Worcester and Irish don't even have the skeleton of a phoenix club let alone use it to put pressure on the RFU. (Edit Wasps give zero crap about Worcester given toying with the playing at sixways whilst stadium being rebuilt) On league you have the NRL which is the biggest sporting compeition in Aus in terms of viewing figrues which helps in terms of funding, and the super league has a salary cap half the size of the prem. Show which one is it that Prem can look towards? [/QUOTE]
