I suppose my argument is favouring cup campaigns.
If your preference is bigger leagues to guarentee additional home games, then going to be against most views on the cups.

My comments were based on DAA post about the cups themselves.

If clubs invest in the cups, you might get unfortunate with away fixtures (Driff played Ponte and Scarborough away in Yorkshire cup) but then at times it goes in your favour (Driff have Blackburn and York at home in PJs)
All obviously depending if clubs withdraw from a competition they committed to or not.

Not difficult really.
Reinstate county cups,  shields and vases. Compulsory entry for all Clubs nationwide. Winners of respective Counties and levels then enter regional comp, finals at Twickenham.
Supported by RFu!
Comps that carry prestige and clubs want to be associated with. No walkovers, no shows suspended from all rugby for 12 months!
The thing being the leagues have undermined the prestige of the cups, this needs to be reversed.

Just like the round ball game….where the leagues started in defiance of the FA.
