This agreement was dead in the water before it was even signed. Clubs like Toulouse did NOT follow the convention (aka agreement) before the Welsh game. This so called convention has created more problems. Bouscatel who was full time member of the league has resigned. So there is no agreement in actual practice. The top clubs are wiping their arse with the convention. I agree with club presidents like Bouscatel and Boudjellal. Players are employed by the clubs. There is no "priority" to be given to the National side. Int players are released if their contract says to.and I hope we move to a Top12 soon, the current recession will dictate a smaller elite simply because many clubs will struggle financially to stay in Top14.</blockquote>
