[QUOTE="welshglory, post: 797952, member: 38673"] The RFU have no reason to increase funding to the Championship clubs, as they are not an effective development competition. If they actually supported the current club pyramid system then they would increase funding without a doubt. The PRL obviously don't see much use of the Championship either, if it folded tomorrow they probably wouldn't care. They would just create a proper Premiership A competition and hire the leftover players and fill it with academy prospects, or leave it to the RFU. Inevitably the Premiership will become a ring fenced competition and the championship will either become a) a semi pro league where ambitious clubs look to develop their off field potential and apply for inclusion in the Premiership, or b) it is replaced by a development competition which is fully funded by the RFU and PRL.
