I think this is a unique season where no relegation and possible dead rubber games won't affect TV viewing figures.
Most rugby fans will just be happy to be able to watch some sport, regardless of who is in the match day squads, who the opposition is, or what is being played for
For all our complaints in principle, last season was both competitive and entertaining. There’s no reason why this season wouldn’t be any different.
But I absolutely don’t want to see it be a mid-long term thing. Hopefully it’s this season only and another season in the Champ for Saracens.
Despite the apparent promotion for Championship winners, surely we won’t have no relegation and a 13 team league for 21/22 and back to a 12 team league in 22/23 - as that’d mean no promotion, or double relegation to enable promotion.
I’m not a fan of a 13 team league. I’d be open to 14 and losing the Premiership Cup.
