What is the reasoning behind the re registration of existing players.
Are players experiencing issues in completing their own registrations.
I hear some clubs will not have enough players registered to raise a team for the first fixture.

It's a right pain. The RFU are of the opinion the younger end/players only do everything on line. Reality shows different.
Far from reducing the workload on administrators, it's increased it.
And they say one of the big advantages/selling points for the players is 'they can access their own details on GMS.'
From experience, the players don't give a stuff about the dreadful system.

Helps the RFU’s own data collection so they find it easier to “sell” the game to the likes of Papa Johns and get funding from Sports England etc.
By making players register every season they know they have up to date email addresses which have great value these days.

What sanctions will befall clubs who don’t get enough completed to field a side.

On the webinars, the guy behind it all said the RFU would not be imposing strict sanctions to start with.
However, their latest info release suggests they will be.
You can't populate a match card with unregistered players. Technically each unregistered player who takes to the field would result in a 5 point deduction. We know from past incidents the RFU are selective when it comes to sticking to their rules. So who knows.
