The RFU are consulting us on the future of our game ... and want our responses by 19 February 2020

The RFU want our feedback and comments on proposed changes to RFU Leagues (English Club Championship). The survey will guide you to specific league structures and accompanying questions based on the level of rugby your club is playing at.

Illustrative league structures will show:

  • The respective playing level of teams (this is based on the level teams were playing at during the 2019-20 season)
  • The number of league matches you can expect to see in a season
  • Examples of how promotion and relegation can be achieved

As well as league structures, questions in the survey will also ask your view on:

  • Cup/knockout rugby
  • Lower XV teams playing in RFU Leagues (English Club Championship)
  • Preferred league structure
  • Promotion and relegation

Please note, proposed changes to RFU Leagues will not take effect until the 2021/22 season. Insight from this survey will help the task Group reach some final recommendations but doesn’t at this stage represent a ‘vote’ as this will come later with RFU Council.

If you want the current structure to remain unchanged, score (0) for each option. A couple of clubs have already done this.
