I thought I read that the travel costs would be paid?

And surely an NRC game against third tier teams isn't going to bring out many fans (home and away)? If marketed right, they could be much bigger games.

In groups of 4 , you would only play 3 games , so 2 clubs would only get 1 home game

Plus as has been pointed out , nobody is interested in playing the French , Toulouse in the Championship showed that

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity

Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike




SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Sometimes I wonder why you bother with the sport? You're so boringly negative.

I'm just boringly negative about stupid gimmicks , ones that don't actually help the clubs involved in them

As Leyther Matt has suggested , the only cross channel matches at our level should be a Championship champions V the French Champions , it should be part of the reward for both clubs winning their respective competitions
