Ealing Trailfinders are reportedly weighing up leaving the English rugby system after again being told they cannot be promoted to the Premiership.
The London club won the second-tier Championship last season and again lead the way this term, ahead of Jersey Reds by just a point.
But the RFU have confirmed they cannot be promoted to the Premiership as their Vallis Way stadium does not meet the minimum requirement of holding 10,000 spectators.
