What’s the reason for the player payments cap rule by Premiership League Ltd?
"It was introduced to try and make it fairer between the haves and have nots, so players weren't going to the bigger clubs who had a bit more flex. It was also designed to help clubs live within their means, but I think Exeter are the only club to turn a profit! | |||

I just dont get it Whats the club supposed to do... and where are the RFU and World Rugby in all of this ? different competitions with different rules that ultimately restrict the players you can recruit / play for one competition but not the other.. seems a bit inconsistent, confusing and will ultimately turn the whole thing into one big professional mess " well the 11 other clubs in england seem to be able to comply with the salary cap rules for a start....... i am not as bothered about europe actually as there isn't one set of salary cap rules..... but at least comply with the ones in your own league | |||

"I saw Chris robshaw doing a interview this morning how he always thought rugby could look down at other sports and say they don't cheat, but Saracens have now tarnished that outlook. When I heard this I thought of bloodgate which happened with the very club he plays for! Cheating on the field is surely worse than financial irregularities! Pot, kettle and black Spring to mind "Yeah, bloodgate is an example but it was a decade ago! In football you could pick examples on an almost monthly basis. While the Saracens example is clearly not good, some perspective is required here. | |||

"Back when I started watching rugby, there were no leagues as such in Wales but there were two merit tables based on the top teams playing each other and percentage win rate being the deciding factor. One of those tables included London Welsh as they were played regularly by the club sides Very true - especially around Christmas and Easter, when the LW players could go home and see their families, while also playing rugby One of this year’s preseason fixtures: Neath vs London Welsh ....a fixture with history....!" I have told everyone before the most enjoyable game of rugby I have been to was talking a Wednesday off at uni when I was Leicester and doing a road trip to the knoll for neath vs South Africa Also the most dirty game of rugby I have seen... lol | |||

"Saracens leaving a lot of big players at home for tomorrow. Confident Munster will prevail at home now. SUAF!!! " with munster and racing drawing their first game i wonder if Sarries are playing a very long game here thinking they think they can get 3 bonus point wins at home, plus let say ospreys on the road... and get 20 points and believe that will be enough to either win or come 2nd in the group... in which case the away games at munster and racing dont really matter | |||

This realistically is a game munster have to win after the draw with Racing. That could yet turn out to be a very poor result at home for Munster. Sarries you'd fancy to win all home games and at worst accumulate enough points to qualify as a best second placed team. | |||

and hoping we can keep our run going though still alot to learn :/ and if we could stop making the most basic of mistakes, reckon we'd be alright.
And at least with Sarries where they are, it gives the Tigers competition at the bottom | |||
