Disproportionate imo . Puzzled by that one given all controls and mitigation via Vaccine passports and apparent mild effects of Omnicrom . We still have nightclubs open !! ?

If they joined the S6 they’d likely leave the Championship, and the funding would broadly replace the RFU funding and give them access to the exiles academy system. Their travel costs would be covered by the SRU.
I think it’s potentially a great idea.

From a Scotland point of view it would open up a lot of opportunities to attract promising young English-based Scottish-qualified players (although whether you see that as a good thing or not is another discussion!)
