We'll never know as there isnt a playoff now. If there was they'd have to lose to the first division team which seems fair. My view is, if you cant beat the you shouldnt replace them. Next season its 1up 1 down and 9 teams. After that who knows but i suspect a cut to 8 teams and no div 1 promotion again. -- Pontypool RFC Message Board
