JEFF PROBYN
A FRONT ROW VIEW OF THE GAME

Interesting to see my old mate Brian Moore professing in his newspaper article that English rugby should stop wasting millions of pounds on substandard players and that clubs should be forced to toe the RFU line
Sadly he wasn’t talking about our so-called professional elite in the Premiership, but those in lower leagues where clubs are paying their players.
Raising the fact that a number of grassroots clubs who have chosen to invest what would be relatively small sums of money to help improve and/or maintain playing numbers, seems to me quite naive...
