Even with streaming into three leagues of six, the gaps in skill between the top and bottom of the those leagues are pretty large, so you get some blow out scores but there are some close, tense matches too. It’s hard to look at any side and say “oh yes, you can see progress over these three games” hopefully as they get it every year, and the warmups most of the teams played too, we’ll start to see improvements year on year, which is the overall aim.
Certainly a hopeful start, and as it won’t be competing for eyeballs with as much other rugby next year, hopefully we’ll see more eyes on it too.
