From the little bits i picked up on it was too do with the prem clubs wanting a share of the competition as the money got split into all leagues that had nothing to do with it and they were annoyed with that. Apparently this had been agreed some time back but now it is being denied so the English were going to boycott and the french following suite

From what i heard the french Clubs got given 50% of the power in negotions ect so the clubs have to agree with the country to make something happen. The RFU refuse to give up any of the power to negotiate deals so the French said they would boycott beacuse of that. The clubs prolly had some ideas that would get shot down if the clubs did not have a equal say. So with the french boycotting because it not being fair for English the English clubs have no real choice but to join the boycott

If the boycott goes ahead, you can kiss goodbye to the scottish and welsh clubs who will more than likely all go bust.

Here's praying
