It’ll be Toulouse via IMG (check their data from last year and this year), then Bradford and London via the ‘independent panel’. I can explain why but I don’t think anyone cares.
Looks like the lower leagues are being merged too. Big fan of that, and hope they go with a Championship East / Championship West format. There'd be a few mismatches (particularly in the short term for Newcastle and Keighley), but better crowds, less money spent on travel, more consistent end to each season, and a proper season for League One clubs. I assume it'd look something like this:
Championship East
Batley Bradford or York Dewsbury Doncaster Featherstone Goole Halifax Hunslet Keighley Newcastle Sheffield
Championship West
Barrow Midlands Hurricanes North Wales Oldham Rochdale Salford Swinton Whitehaven Widnes Workington
Each team plays home and away. Then top 6 of each division come together for a play off series.
