The best laid plans of the RFU to maximise playing opportunities have descended into chaos faster than a Manchester City defence. After the Met, amongst others, resorted to a "game on" friendly on the opening weekend of the League season, this week OH Exiles have forfeited all the points. They have been unable to raise even a semblance of an XV, handing the Met all the points without a ball being blown up .
Instead, the Met's first full squad of the season will train at Imber Court, in the hope that some competitive rugby will take place before the clocks go back.
