Champ as a prem training ground?
Re: Champ as a prem training ground?
I was always a fan of Cornwall (even though I am a Yorkshireman) because they were so dominant in the old county competitions (Yorks, Lancs and Cornwall seemed to do well in that competition). It was (and is) also a great place to visit to watch rugby. It looks like Plymouth are on a roll in Nat 1 and they are the nearest to me on the Devon/Cornwall front. I think Pirates should avoid promotion until Plymouth jump in, that I would pay to see as a neutral
. I wonder if a better funded and more competitive county championship or structure could provide a backdrop for players that would otherwise be on loan? the loan side could then be limited to say 2 players per club and the rest form regional teams.
