@ABCBrynPalmer I am slightly surprised that Dempsey is going, I would have thought Masibaka would have been a nod to the future. JG there for his experience, not sure he will play

[Bruce MacGregor @BruceMacGregor]

@ABCBrynPalmer @RugbySco Probably worth mentioning that the Top 14 final is only a week before Scotland V Argentina which probably accounts for Blair's absence. Hastings has been poor this season and the 2 hookers have stepped up. Gilco is also getting on a bit. So no real surprises

[Bruce MacGregor @BruceMacGregor]

@TimesSport @willgkelleher @AlexMLowe So let me get this right... The governing body of rugby union in England is saying that the game (that it runs) is not financially sustainable?

[Bruce MacGregor @BruceMacGregor]

@simonrug @URCOfficial Interesting that there is no representation from either Glasgow or Leinster, I assume due to rotation during the international windows?

[Bruce MacGregor @BruceMacGregor]

@CharlieFelix You are only looking at this in terms of the Prem, not English rugby. Ring fencing effectively blocks investment from reaching the Champ and lower tier clubs. No growth, no future.

[Bruce MacGregor @BruceMacGregor]

@CharlieFelix @SportKing01 Sorry Charlie, Ealing have just gone a year unbeaten. Surely they deserve to be promoted rather than creating a new franchise

[Bruce MacGregor @BruceMacGregor]

@CharlieFelix @SportKing01 In pole position due to geography not merit

@rugbyexpansion Nothing at all against England but then coming into the six nations bragging about a 12 match streak and winning the wooden spoon is very VERY funny

[Bruce MacGregor @BruceMacGregor]

@TheLooseH Have you ever stopped to wonder why, let me think, perhaps it's because funding for the Championship has been devastated. Or perhaps O share holders get to distribute TV funds. Or maybe absurd ground qualification rules.

[Bruce MacGregor @BruceMacGregor]

@neilfissler *sigh*. The reason why Champ clubs don't want promotion is because under the current cartel, even after promotion they will only get a fraction of the funding that the existing Prem sides get, as they don't hold a P Share. Promotion means bankruptcy.

[Bruce MacGregor @BruceMacGregor]

@ROB_Robireland Fundamentally disagree, the Red Bull thing is neither here nor there, the question remains, can this side improve under his stewardship, unless we beat either France or Ireland, we end up 4th .. again

[Bruce MacGregor @BruceMacGregor]

@neilfissler The irony... Prem clubs don't like the 15k seat requirements because it is unachievable, yet they expect Champ clubs to have 10k+ to be promoted

🚨NEW: Donald Trump has attacked USA Olympic skier Hunter Hess on social media, calling him a “real loser” for expressing concern about the murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good by ICE.

RETWEET if you stand with Hess against Trump!

[Bruce MacGregor @BruceMacGregor]

@TheVickiJones the Prem wont let well funded English teams in (Ealing), why do you think they would allow unfunded Welsh ones in?

[Bruce MacGregor @BruceMacGregor]

@mangorugby TJ is not being played at fullback for Bristol because he has to play 10 due to McGinty's injury, not because Lam doesn't think he is any good at it.

[Bruce MacGregor @BruceMacGregor]

@ScotRugbyNews is it being broadcast anywhere?

[Bruce MacGregor @BruceMacGregor]

@RugbyInsideLine So there is still a chance that this squad maybe in the "Champ" next season. Lets watch the RFU come up with more excuses not to promote Ealing.
