I'll be honest, the Union funding clubs en masse is such a weird thing from over here.

I agree is an anachronistic concept its the RFU greatest strength but also it's weakness.

I wouldn't necessarily call it anachronistic. But USA Soccer, one of the richest soccer federations in the World doesn't subsidize amateur rugby. But I suppose in a way the model is the same, they do subsidize the NWSL. But that's a professional league rather than an elite amateur league.

there's the difference as you stated: Professional. I would like to see the RFU heading down that path. Elite Amateur has it's place but keeping funding it... not so sure
