    Sorry dont have the details in total

    From what i have heard the league will have regular fixtures but also what are being titled GAla DAys where all matches will be in one venue like the Millennium MAgic weeeknd stuff

    That way the refs get to see their club teams play, we all get to see everyteam if we want on one weekend

    WIN WIN

    Sounds interesting, anything that raises the games profile in Ireland's got to be good.I'd be looking to sell it as a summer game to union players, keep them fit and enhance key skills....Unfortunately I've heard rumours that the northern clubs are going to breakaway from the RLI and do their own thing...I hope not.

    Anyhoo, if you hear of any more developments, let us know....

    Gonna agree with Toomevara, best chance get the game up is to target the Union lads as a side sport for them.
    Of course the sooner I start playing the sooner the popularity of the game in Ireland will explode :P

    I think in the past there has been some problems with trying to target union players with the IRFU wanting players to rest during the summer.

    RU also don't take kindly to being told that there players will enhance their skills by playing league :D

    Bring it on!
