Coventry

The 1994–95 National Division 2 (sponsored by Courage Brewery) was the eighth season of the second tier of the English rugby union league system, the Courage Clubs Championship, currently known as Champ Rugby. New teams to the division included London Irish and Newcastle Gosforth, relegated from tier 1, while Coventry and Fylde, were promoted from tier 3.

Saracens, the first team to be champions twice, were promoted to the 1995–96 National Division 1. There was no promotion for the runners–up Wakefield who finished in their highest league position. Coventry finished last and were relegated to the 1995–96 National Division 3 as were Fylde who finished one place above them. Both teams had been promoted in 1992–93.

Structure

Each side played one another twice, in a round robin system, home and away, to make a total of eighteen matches for each team. The top side would be promoted to National Division 1 and the bottom two relegated to National Division 3.
