Funds are only limited for certain things such as supporting the championship, plenty of money available for what / who they want to use it for!

Spot on. 4m profit for the RFU announced today. Will we see the championship clubs be properly funded? Or it to be plouged into grassroots? Or a pot put aweay to help clubs in trouble?

I wont hold my breath

Or partly ploughed into funding a former England Cptain who is "resting".

In itself it?s an obvious waste of money. As a broader idea it?s a terrible one. So not good all round really.

I'm against central contracts but if they are introduced they should be limited to players who have a very good chance of playing in the next world cup. Farrell is 32 and whilst I know there have been players older than 36 but they are few and far between and he's no Johnny Sexton.

Farrell isn't even a George Ford let alone a Jonny Sexton.
