Eddie Jones was there. I wonder how many Ealing players will get called up...

I know it wasn't a league game... What was it?
Friendly?
Pre season?

It’s a little round Robin of matches between Doncaster,Ealing and some other club.

Does it count towards anything beyond some bragging rights?


If the championship season gets called off completely, is there any possibility that the winner of this little tourney will determine who gets promoted?

Not a chance. If Sarries had won then I'm sure they'd have tried to work it in their favour if it came to that, but not in favour of Ealing.

I think we all know who's going to get promoted - whether games are played or not unfortunately.

DGP / Shugs....
Sadly, I agree with you both

If it is an uncontested promotion for you know who, then you’d expect Ealing (and others) would have a strong case to take legal action. There is no regulatory or lawful reason that could justify a non-merited promotion for them.

Completely agree - but I fear a way will be found.

All they have to do, if ringfencing as proposed is deemed to be not legal, is for all 13 Clubs to resign from the PRL and set-up a new, ringfenced, league.

The RFU might, initially, decide to not recognise it, but with all the England players and the BT and CVC money they'll soon cave-in, otherwise it could lead to a pan-European club league answering only to itself.

All of the money made from the CVC deal is going to be spent buying off Ealing and the other promotion hopefuls.

If Ealing don't take them to court over it I'm seriously tempted to crowdfund the money to do it myself.

You just wonder what the likes of Pirates, Coventry and etc feel about Ealing being talked of in this way. They are just recent (financial) upstarts. No better than the EAs really.

Does this make them technically the third-best team in the league?! :-p

Losses to Ealing and Doncaster  ;D

Speculation over whether this mini cup counts towards barbarians players ban , even cheekily suggesting forfeited game counts too!
 Surely a friendly or unofficial game wouldn’t count towards any banned players’ term?

You would think so but with PRL anything is acceptable.

Marler served the entirety of his post 6N ban through lockdown last year.
