@RugbyPodcast @EnglandRugby My thoughts on the future of our game under its current leadership brilliantly expressed.

[Eggchasers @RugbyPodcast]

We have just read through a document produced by Francis Baron (Ex @EnglandRugby CEO) on the pros and cons of CVCs 6n deal.

Inevitably it touches on the Premierships deal too.

Something we have spoken about quite a bit.

The @uarizona is offering scholarships to rugby student-athletes for the first time. Coach Sean Duffy notes it is a big step forward for the program.

We've got lots of Bin-End wines ready and waiting to be snapped-up! If you're heading South West for the half-term, do pop into our bottle shop in Mere (just off the A303) to peruse our selection and grab a bargain 🍷 We're open 9am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday.

@Oldfield_RFC @guardian_sport @mdmaylwin @RFU Absolutely agree. More top down stuff from @RFU that has no idea of what happens in community rugby. What are our council members there for? @DorsetWiltsRFU @NorthDorsetRFC

Fabulous evening last night celebrating my fathers life and raising money for Hospitality Action, shame that someone went home with one of our little frogs, hopefully he will find his way back 😡

Go! In the name of Rugby go!

Bill Sweeney and the RFU have succeeded in rousing almost 300 clubs into open rebellion – their position is perilous

Strong statement from @ccusport, now supported by around 280 clubs: “Bill Sweeney has shown he is no friend of the community game and has seriously undervalued the strength of the community game. We will push for his resignation or removal via the SGM.” https://t.co/I0CvyZHqyI

[Chris Brickell @brixter21]

Do the Rugby Football Union and Prince Andrew use the same PR advisors? I only ask ‘cos I want to know.

[Chris Brickell @brixter21]

I think you’ll find that this goes nowhere near far enough. The rugby community seek a total withdrawal of the entire proposal. Only then can a genuine consultation process be commenced.
Anything less and the SGM will likely vote to replace all involved
