Quote: PopTart "Yes.
Effectively each year is assessed independently. If in 2025 we are in the top 12 clubs on IMG points, then we are in.
It's possible a team that doesn't achieve the points would drop out from the current 12. Doesn't have to be Toulouse.
And alternatively, 2 teams from championship could be promoted if they get the points.
6 or 7 can be confident they are in. Next 4 probably know but theirs is up for grabs.'"
Just another thing I’m not sure of with IMG criteria. Next week we have London v Toulouse in the playoffs for SL, but after this season, a team doesn’t get into SL by winning the championship playoffs, so my question is, will there still be a championship top six playoff if the winner doesn’t automatically qualify for SL.
