according to the 5Live report I've just heard, the bbc's take is: 1. French will only play in the HEC next season IF English clubs do 2. The English could play in the HEC, but would simply lose out on the extra cash that the BT deal would have given them So... nothing about what the french will do i...

so, where we up to this morning?

are the French definitely in for at least 1 year, and then beyond that conditional on the English doing the same? or is it conditional from now, in which case if PRL say No, the RCC maybe back on?

Quelle sera la position des clubs français si les clubs anglais ne disputent pas la Coupe d’Europe l’an prochain ? P.G.: Si les Anglais ne peuvent pas participer à la compétition européenne, une nouvelle réunion sera alors organisée. Et nous nous poserions alors la question de la participation des ...

Rees saying that the French have not agreed to return to HEC. They will only if the English are on board and if plans are in place to replace the ERC. No RCC next year though. Rees should be banned from the Irish, Scottish, French, Welsh and Italian Six Nations press rooms until he bucks up and sta...

One thing I've missed the detail on...are the RFU not still stakeholders of the ERC? how does that sit with the new deal? are they able to offer up championship sides, for example? And if Irish sides were the only ones competing in the HEC, but it was still on Sky, Blackrock Bullet would still be de...

No they are supposed to use the two year "notice" period to renegotiatie. Instead, the PRL just a couple of weeks after their notice signed a signed a deal making negotiation incredibly difficult, yet in public and still they implore other countries sides into a tournament with them. Bill, still no...

I think 80s Britain is a good analogy, with the clubs being minors and the Unions being Thatcher. Will they take their milk away? :lol: Yes, they would if they could. Only the Welsh. The RFU haven't decided yet. And the FFR are taking some milk away from come clubs, but giving extra to others. Doub...

Is your BT deal dependant on ALL unions competing in the RCC, or just a few, or maybe even one? most of the bt deal is about the english league - the european element would requite other teams to enter but I repeat what is it about sky that the rabo clubs love so much? it looks very much like sky h...

Nigel Wray has something to say : Saracens chairman Nigel Wray has labelled the battle between Sky and BT Sport over the broadcasting rights for European Rugby as a "secondary problem".

are any welsh players centrally contracted?

It's a stupid argument. But Leinster have had over 50K at a league match and have around 14K season ticket holders. The three bigger Irish provinces all have pretty foot attendance figures despite our tiny population and the stiff competition from soccer and the two big GAA sports. We've also manag...

The situation seems like lose lose for everyone to me. Depending on what happens one side may be able to gloat but it's a choice of either richer French and Rabo tournament, with the problems for Welsh teams in particular remaining, or some sort of split with potentially two tournaments. None of th...
