The rugby landscape could change forever with the newly proposed merger of the URC and English Premiership, split into two divisions with promotion and relegation.A potential merger between the URC and the English Premiership, split into two divisions with promotion and relegation, is reportedly under serious consideration., alleging that neither the URC nor the English Premiership had achieved the commercial goals it had set itself in recent season.
One option being seriously considered is merging both leagues into two divisions with promotion and relegation. All sides would play each other home and away with play-offs at the end of the season. While Welsh clubs favour this approach for its reduced travel, rekindling of historic rivalries, and the more level playing field created by England’s salary cap, there’s disagreement among English clubs. Some prefer regular fixtures against heavyweight Irish provinces, while others are keen on limiting the involvement of South African and Italian teams.
