As things stand can't put in a 4G as one of the other sides is Newport County soccer side who aren't allowed to play on plastic surfaces. Of course if they move on - no problem.
Thought it was two rugby teams.
Treat life like a dog: If you can't eat it, play with it, or hump it, p1$$ on it and walk away!

County been playing there since 2012. But its a rugby ground and the WRU now, or will soon, own it so.....on yer bike wendy ballers.
You know I'm going to lose,
And gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live FOREVER!
Dragons dont own the grounds, theyre effectively a brand and norhinf more. Dave parade is owned by Newport RFC which is separate to NGD/Dragons
Ruddock's tackle stats consistently too low for me to be taken seriously as a Six Nations blindside..... Ruddock's defensive stats don't stack up. - All Blacks Nil, Jan 15th, 2014

On the other hand they can't be too generous or the other sides will be jealous (but maybe that's the plan).
You can be guaranteed the other regions will want increased funding especially if Dragons start beating them. Its easier than admitting their own fupp ups centred on white elephant stadia but ironic considering their opposition to central contracts

Would say so as things stand Quins and Toulouse are possible SF opponents.

Quinns would be a belter, think pro12 team is away?
Yup. Only Issue for Connacht is to finish as best Pro 12 playoff side in case Edinburgh win the Not The Amlin. Playing La Rochelle in QF - will depend on what sort of team they send etc.

Playoff format was such an AngloFrench carve up
Agreed the 20th spot should go to:
1 The winners of the Champions Cup if they have not already qualified via League
2 The winners of the Challenge Cup (as per 1)
3 Extra spot for League of winners of Challenge Cup

Plus the playoffs are a bit of an extra f you to summer tours

In other news AWJ out for 6 weeks. Will miss the big game in 2 weeks.
Can't use a plastic rugby pitch for soccer anyway as the fibres are too long and can't use a soccer one for rugby as they are too short, different spec surfaces.
Anyway as I have said before technically there is no such thing as a 4G pitch, it is a marketing term used for a certain sub type of 3G surface.

6th place Glasgow on 51 so there is a "mathematical" chance of them catching us. They would have to get a BP win in RDS and Thomond park and we would have to pick up no losing BPs (or obviously wins or draws) in any game
