Relegation from Championship

London Scottish beat Richmond yesterday to move off the bottom with one more round of games to go. If correct London Scottish had 8 Harlequins players in side. It makes a mockery of the competition to have that many.

I can foresee the Championship clubs getting more involved even more in similar arrangements to the HarliScot arrangement.I fear that the RFU will not stand in the way of the potential for Champ sides to increase gate money with "Stars" of the Premiership playing in a squad including players returning from injury or in development getting experience under their belts. It may well be RFU will find cash to encourage such 'arrangements' lightening the burden on them to financially support The Champ.
How much Champ Clubs will feel this breaks their autonomy and history and ethos may be influenced by filthy lucre dangled before them!

Maybe questions to London Scottish fans may offer up an idea to their feelings for their club?!

Wasn't there a mention somewhere about Premiership clubs having an 'A' team, which would enter the Championship.
