We Need To Talk About London Irish

Premiership isn't ring fenced anymore, and they've already got an established pathway for new sides (look at London Welsh),
They're also revamping the championship, allowing sides to parachute straight in at that level if they have the appropriate structures (and cash) which I imagine is their plan

In terms of URC ownership, I know the SA union is still paying their way into the league and only become full equity owners at the end of the season (which would finally get more money in and hopefully stop our teams flying economy and via Dubai to Europe every time). Not sure how it would work for London Irish if it would be England based.

Maybe joining together the PRL and URC is the best solution.

Maybe they'll relocate to Wrexham and do a "from the ashes" documentary of them joining the urc
