[QUOTE="j'nuh, post: 896563, member: 55446"] I disagree. Any attempt to reduce the league will mean fewer rounds of rugby which will mean less money for clubs which means reduced salaries and Top14 suddenly threatens English rugby. Limiting club exposure of internationals without any compensation scheme will be resisted because no club is going to want to pay full whack for a player they can't use for half the year... for the same price would you rather Daly for half a year or Beale for the full year? The simple answer is... if we want to substantially reduce the playing time of internationals and ensure clubs continue to see having internationals as good value, then the RFU is going to need to take on more of the salary bill and internationals will have to be outside the salary cap. My preference would be to have a combination of central contracts and a draft process. Each club having three internationals all outside the cap and half paid for by the RFU would be fair. [/QUOTE]
