Quote: Hedgehog King "Let's not exaggerate. CC1 is a step up from BARLA winter leagues let alone the RLC. Most Welsh RLC players would struggle against NCL players.
Many will make the step up with professional coaching but but most RLC players wouldn't be able to.'"
I totally agree with you that CC1 is a step up, all I am saying is that with the mix of Crusaders reserves and the pick of the best players from the Welsh Conference the Scorpions should be competative.
What you have to remember a lot of the reserves have already played in this league with the Crusaders a couple of years back and a lot of Welsh Conference players play Union in Div 1 + 2 which itself is highly competative, I know Union is a different game but these are very talented rugby players and have played in the Welsh Conference because until now there has been nowhere else to play league.
