Mayfield? Cookie has a point that Spedeworth and Richard Coleman already have a working relationship because of Foxhall. We also know Coleman wants an eight team league, and has taken it upon himself to negotiate a TV deal for the league so we know he’s actively involved all round.

Just what I said on Wednesday, there is a consortium willing to run in the premiership next season, lots of positive conversations held. A different consortium from the one you were involved with that want to run national league. I got shot down in flames last year for saying Northampton was going to happen so I’ll not say too much out of respect to those involved but watch this space 

Is he doing both legs?

Shall we just say….more accurate.

We know clubs have made signings already so things must be pretty much agreed regarding points limits and league structures. Northampton are announcing a couple at their end of season do in a couple of weeks.

I would have thought a better guest would be available or do they have to be Australian to be trusted!
